Loft problems we see in Carmarthen
Semis are 29% of homes in Carmarthen. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.
24% of homes in Carmarthen 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.
In Carmarthen, 22% of homes are privately rented. Tenants spotting damp on top-floor ceilings should tell the landlord, who can arrange a check.
Before you book, have a look for black spots on the rafters or felt, a musty smell as the hatch opens or water marks on the ceiling under the loft. Any one of them is worth a free check.

Loft problems in Carmarthen: questions
What share of homes in Carmarthen are houses?
81% are houses or bungalows; 19% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
Do you work outside Carmarthen?
Can I keep storing things in the loft?
Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
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.
I rent in Carmarthen 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.
