Loft problems we see in Egham

Semi-detached houses make up 35%. A frequent find: a bathroom fan blowing into the loft and black spots on the rafters above it.

20% of homes in Egham 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.

25% of homes in Egham are flats. The roof space above a top-floor flat usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease before any work.

Private renting is common in Egham (26%). The loft is easy for landlords to forget until damp shows through a ceiling.

If you can get into the loft, look out for water marks on the ceiling under the loft, spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof or droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Egham: questions

What share of homes in Egham are houses?

75% are houses or bungalows; 25% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).

Where does new insulation go?

On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.

Can I keep storing things in the loft?

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

I rent in Egham 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.

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.

Do you work outside Egham?

Yes, across England and Wales, including Staines-upon-Thames, Chertsey, Ashford, Stanwell and Ascot. Every town we list in Surrey.
