What goes wrong in Hereford lofts

Semi-detached houses make up 34%. A frequent find: a bathroom fan blowing into the loft and black spots on the rafters above it.

Terraces account for 25% of Hereford’s homes. Where party walls stop short in the loft, warm air, smells and pests pass between houses; we close the gaps on your side.

In Hereford, 21% of homes are privately rented. Tenants spotting damp on top-floor ceilings should tell the landlord, who can arrange a check.

Before you book, have a look for eaves packed so tight no daylight shows, a cold draught round the loft hatch or water marks on the ceiling under the loft. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.
