Loft problems we see in Maldon
35% of the housing in Maldon is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.
22% of homes in Maldon 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.
Many households here (40%) own outright. Lofts that were insulated back when they moved in are often thin, dusty and due a look.
Before you book, have a look for eaves packed so tight no daylight shows, cables buried out of sight under insulation or black spots on the rafters or felt. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

I rent in Maldon 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 I keep storing things in the loft?
