What goes wrong in Penarth lofts
36% of homes in Penarth are flats. The roof space above a top-floor flat usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease before any work.
With 25% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Penarth. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.
22% of households rent privately. Condensation from drying clothes indoors often ends up in the loft; landlords can book a check.
Before you book, have a look for droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation, a cold draught round the loft hatch or eaves packed so tight no daylight shows. Any one of them is worth a free check.
