Problem lofts fixed in Marlow

What goes wrong in Marlow lofts

Semi-detached houses make up 23%. A frequent find: a bathroom fan blowing into the loft and black spots on the rafters above it.

29% of homes in Marlow 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.

Worth checking in a Marlow loft: boxes sitting straight on the insulation, drips on nails on frosty mornings or a musty smell as the hatch opens. Any one of them is worth a free check.
