Loft problems we see in Luton
41% of the housing in Luton is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.
22% of homes in Luton 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.
25% of homes in Luton are flats. The roof space above a top-floor flat usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease before any work.
29% of households rent privately. Condensation from drying clothes indoors often ends up in the loft; landlords can book a check.
Worth checking in a Luton loft: drips on nails on frosty mornings, a musty smell as the hatch opens or droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation. Any one of them is worth a free check.
