Loft problems we see in Canterbury

Semis are 29% of homes in Canterbury. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.

Terraces account for 25% of Canterbury’s homes. Where party walls stop short in the loft, warm air, smells and pests pass between houses; we close the gaps on your side.

31% of homes in Canterbury are flats. The roof space above a top-floor flat usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease before any work.

35% of households rent privately. Condensation from drying clothes indoors often ends up in the loft; landlords can book a check.

Things that tell us a loft needs attention: a cold draught round the loft hatch, grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring or water marks on the ceiling under the loft. Any one of them is worth a free check.

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.

Can I keep storing things in the loft?

Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.

It depends on what we find, how much has to come out and the size of the loft. The check is free and the quote is in writing.

I rent in Canterbury 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.
