Common loft faults here

Flats are 39% of homes here. If damp is coming through your top-floor ceiling, the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree to work in the loft above.

22% of households here live in terraced houses, many with slate roofs and no felt. Those lofts need airflow, so insulation must stop short of the eaves.

Private renting is common in Hastings (29%). The loft is easy for landlords to forget until damp shows through a ceiling.

Worth checking in a Hastings loft: drips on nails on frosty mornings, cables buried out of sight under insulation or eaves packed so tight no daylight shows. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.
