What goes wrong in Cambridge lofts

37% of homes in Cambridge are flats. The roof space above a top-floor flat usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease before any work.

With 27% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Cambridge. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.

32% of households rent privately. Condensation from drying clothes indoors often ends up in the loft; landlords can book a check.

Before you book, have a look for black spots on the rafters or felt, drips on nails on frosty mornings or a cold draught round the loft hatch. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Cambridge: questions

What share of homes in Cambridge are houses?

63% are houses or bungalows; 37% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).

I rent in Cambridge and there’s damp in the loft. What do I do?

Tell your landlord, who is responsible for the building. Council and housing association tenants should report it to their repairs team. Landlords can book a loft check with us.

Can’t you just put new insulation on top?

Not over damp, soiled or mouldy insulation. That hides the problem. We fix the cause first.

Do you work outside Cambridge?

Yes, across England and Wales, including Cambourne, Newmarket, Soham, Royston and St Ives. Every town we list in Cambridgeshire.

Can you fix the loft above my top-floor flat?

Usually only with the freeholder’s or managing agent’s agreement. Check your lease first.

Where does new insulation go?

On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
