Loft problems we see in Bodmin

Semis are 28% of homes in Bodmin. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.

27% of homes in Bodmin are terraces. Older terrace lofts often have no roof felt, gaps through the party walls and insulation pushed into the eaves, which is a recipe for damp timber.

In Bodmin, 22% of homes are privately rented. Tenants spotting damp on top-floor ceilings should tell the landlord, who can arrange a check.

Signs that something is wrong up there include a musty smell as the hatch opens, boxes sitting straight on the insulation or water marks on the ceiling under the loft. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.
