What goes wrong in Penryn lofts
25% of the housing in Penryn is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.
With 25% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Penryn. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.
Private renting is common in Penryn (28%). The loft is easy for landlords to forget until damp shows through a ceiling.
Before you book, have a look for grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring, boxes sitting straight on the insulation or droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Penryn: questions
What share of homes in Penryn are houses?
77% are houses or bungalows; 21% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
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 Penryn 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.
Can I keep storing things in the loft?
Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
