What goes wrong in Newham lofts
53% of households in Newham live in flats, so many don’t have a loft of their own. For the 47% in houses, the usual problems apply: old insulation, condensation, pests.
In Newham, 39% of homes are privately rented. Tenants spotting damp on top-floor ceilings should tell the landlord, who can arrange a check.
If you can get into the loft, look out for insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists, a cold draught round the loft hatch or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Newham: questions
How many homes in Newham are flats?
53% of households were in flats or maisonettes at the 2021 Census; 47% in houses or bungalows.
I rent in Newham 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.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
Can you fix the loft above my top-floor flat?
Usually only with the freeholder’s or managing agent’s agreement. Check your lease first.
Do you work outside Newham?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Tower Hamlets, Greenwich, Barking and Dagenham, Redbridge and Hackney.
