Loft services in Paignton
Loft problems we see in Paignton
Semis are 28% of homes in Paignton. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.
19% of homes in Paignton 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.
26% of homes in Paignton are flats. The roof space above a top-floor flat usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease before any work.
In Paignton, 22% of homes are privately rented. Tenants spotting damp on top-floor ceilings should tell the landlord, who can arrange a check.
Many households here (41%) own outright. Lofts that were insulated back when they moved in are often thin, dusty and due a look.
Signs that something is wrong up there include spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof, a musty smell as the hatch opens or insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Paignton: questions
What share of homes in Paignton are houses?
73% are houses or bungalows; 26% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
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.
I rent in Paignton and there’s damp in the loft. What do I do?
Tell your landlord, who is responsible for the building. Landlords can book a loft check with us.
Do you work outside Paignton?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Brixham, Torquay, Newton Abbot, Kingsteignton and Teignmouth. Every town we list in Torbay.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
