What goes wrong in Epping lofts

Semis are 34% of homes in Epping. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.

With 21% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Epping. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.

26% of homes in Epping are flats. The roof space above a top-floor flat usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease before any work.

Things that tell us a loft needs attention: droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation, insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists or cables buried out of sight under insulation. Any one of them is worth a free check.

Loft problems in Epping: questions

What share of homes in Epping are houses?

74% are houses or bungalows; 26% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).

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.

Can I keep storing things in the loft?

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

How much will it cost to fix my loft in Epping?

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.

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 Epping?

Yes, across England and Wales, including Loughton, Waltham Abbey, Harlow, Buckhurst Hill and Chigwell. Every town we list in Essex.
