I rent in Redbridge 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 Redbridge?

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.
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.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
