What goes wrong in Godalming lofts

28% of the housing in Godalming is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.

18% of homes in Godalming 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.

If you can get into the loft, look out for drips on nails on frosty mornings, grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring or insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Godalming: questions

What share of homes in Godalming are houses?

75% are houses or bungalows; 24% 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’t you just put new insulation on top?

Not over damp, soiled or mouldy insulation. That hides the problem. We fix the cause first.

I rent in Godalming 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 I keep storing things in the loft?

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

Do you work outside Godalming?

Yes, across England and Wales, including Farncombe, Guildford, Cranleigh, Ash and Ash Vale and Aldershot. Every town we list in Surrey.
