In Gorleston-on-Sea, 20% of homes are privately rented. Tenants spotting damp on top-floor ceilings should tell the landlord, who can arrange a check.

If you can get into the loft, look out for cables buried out of sight under insulation, insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists or spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Gorleston-on-Sea: questions

What type of home is most common in Gorleston-on-Sea?

Terraced houses, at 37% of households in the 2021 Census, then semi-detached houses at 23%.

I live just outside Gorleston-on-Sea. Is that covered?

Yes. Nearby places such as Bradwell, Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Norwich and North Walsham are covered too. Every town we list in Norfolk.

Will my house get dusty?

We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.

How do I know if my insulation needs replacing?

It’s thin, grey, damp, stained or has droppings in it, or there’s a musty smell.

There are boards nailed straight onto my joists. Is that bad?

It usually means the insulation underneath is squashed. We lift the boards, fix the insulation and put storage back on a raised floor.

Can mice get in from next door?

In terraces they often travel along the eaves. We seal the gaps on your side and clear out spoiled insulation.
