Loft services in Croydon
Common loft faults here
40% of households in Croydon live in flats, so many don’t have a loft of their own. For the 60% in houses, the usual problems apply: old insulation, condensation, pests.
26% 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: eaves packed so tight no daylight shows, black spots on the rafters or felt or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Croydon: questions
How many homes in Croydon are flats?
40% of households were in flats or maisonettes at the 2021 Census; 60% in houses or bungalows.
I rent in Croydon 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.
Do you work outside Croydon?
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
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 you fix the loft above my top-floor flat?
Usually only with the freeholder’s or managing agent’s agreement. Check your lease first.
