Loft problems we see in New Ollerton and Ollerton

Semis are 57% of homes in New Ollerton and Ollerton. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.

12% of homes in New Ollerton and Ollerton 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.

If you can get into the loft, look out for eaves packed so tight no daylight shows, insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists or spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in New Ollerton and Ollerton: questions

What share of homes in New Ollerton and Ollerton are houses?

89% are houses or bungalows; 9% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).

Where does new insulation go?

On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.

I rent in New Ollerton and Ollerton 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.

Can I keep storing things in the loft?

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