Loft problems in Carterton: questions
What share of homes in Carterton are houses?
86% are houses or bungalows; 11% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
I rent in Carterton and there’s damp in the loft. What do I do?
Tell your landlord, who is responsible for the building. 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.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
Do you work outside Carterton?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Witney, Wantage, Kidlington, Stratton St Margaret and Oxford. Every town we list in Oxfordshire.
Can I keep storing things in the loft?
Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
