Common loft faults here
Semi-detached houses make up 31%. A frequent find: a bathroom fan blowing into the loft and black spots on the rafters above it.
26% of homes in Oxford 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.
32% of homes in Oxford are flats. The roof space above a top-floor flat usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease before any work.
In Oxford, 32% of homes are privately rented. Tenants spotting damp on top-floor ceilings should tell the landlord, who can arrange a check.
Worth checking in a Oxford loft: spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof, drips on nails on frosty mornings or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. Any one of them is worth a free check.
