What goes wrong in Camborne lofts
36% of homes in Camborne 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.
Semi-detached houses make up 25%. A frequent find: a bathroom fan blowing into the loft and black spots on the rafters above it.
In Camborne, 23% of homes are privately rented. Tenants spotting damp on top-floor ceilings should tell the landlord, who can arrange a check.
Worth checking in a Camborne loft: drips on nails on frosty mornings, cables buried out of sight under insulation or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.
