Loft problems we see in Didcot

Semi-detached houses make up 39%. A frequent find: a bathroom fan blowing into the loft and black spots on the rafters above it.

With 23% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Didcot. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.

Before you book, have a look for boxes sitting straight on the insulation, a cold draught round the loft hatch or drips on nails on frosty mornings. Any one of them is worth a free check.

84% are houses or bungalows; 15% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).

I rent in Didcot 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?

Can I keep storing things in the loft?

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.
