Common loft faults here
42% of homes in Folkestone are flats. The roof space above a top-floor flat usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease before any work.
28% of homes in Folkestone 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.
32% 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: drips on nails on frosty mornings, a cold draught round the loft hatch or droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation. Any one of them is worth a free check.
