Common loft faults here

Semi-detached houses make up 29%. A frequent find: a bathroom fan blowing into the loft and black spots on the rafters above it.

17% of homes in Brentwood 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.

29% of homes in Brentwood are flats. The roof space above a top-floor flat usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease before any work.

Worth checking in a Brentwood loft: cables buried out of sight under insulation, a cold draught round the loft hatch or drips on nails on frosty mornings. Any one of them is worth a free check.
