Loft problems we see in Borehamwood
27% of homes in Borehamwood are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.
Terraced houses are 29% of the housing. In small terrace lofts the eaves get stuffed with insulation, air stops moving and condensation follows. Clearing the eaves usually fixes it.
Flats are 34% of homes here. If damp is coming through your top-floor ceiling, the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree to work in the loft above.
If you can get into the loft, look out for drips on nails on frosty mornings, a cold draught round the loft hatch or insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.
