What goes wrong in Mansfield lofts

Semi-detached houses make up 41%. A frequent find: a bathroom fan blowing into the loft and black spots on the rafters above it.

18% of homes in Mansfield 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.

21% 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 a cold draught round the loft hatch, black spots on the rafters or felt or water marks on the ceiling under the loft. Any one of them is worth a free check.

Loft problems in Mansfield: questions

What share of homes in Mansfield are houses?

86% are houses or bungalows; 14% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).

Do you work outside Mansfield?

Yes, across England and Wales, including Mansfield Woodhouse, Forest Town, Sutton in Ashfield, Kirkby-in-Ashfield and Shirebrook. Every town we list in Nottinghamshire.

I rent in Mansfield 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?

Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.

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.

How much will it cost to fix my loft in Mansfield?

It depends on what we find, how much has to come out and the size of the loft. The check is free and the quote is in writing.
