What goes wrong in Leicester lofts
Semi-detached houses make up 37%. A frequent find: a bathroom fan blowing into the loft and black spots on the rafters above it.
With 27% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Leicester. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.
28% of households rent privately. Condensation from drying clothes indoors often ends up in the loft; landlords can book a check.
Before you book, have a look for water marks on the ceiling under the loft, droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation or eaves packed so tight no daylight shows. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Leicester: questions
What share of homes in Leicester are houses?
78% are houses or bungalows; 23% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
I rent in Leicester and there’s damp in the loft. What do I do?
Tell your landlord, who is responsible for the building. Council and housing association tenants should report it to their repairs team. Landlords can book a loft check with us.
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.
Do you work outside Leicester?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Wigston, Leicester Forest East and Kirby Muxloe, Birstall, Oadby and Enderby and Narborough.
Can I keep storing things in the loft?
Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
