What goes wrong in Redruth lofts
Semis are 27% of homes in Redruth. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.
With 31% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Redruth. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.
In Redruth, 23% of homes are privately rented. Tenants spotting damp on top-floor ceilings should tell the landlord, who can arrange a check.
Things that tell us a loft needs attention: boxes sitting straight on the insulation, cables buried out of sight under insulation or spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof. Any one of them is worth a free check.

Loft problems in Redruth: questions
What share of homes in Redruth are houses?
81% are houses or bungalows; 19% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
Do you work outside Redruth?
I rent in Redruth and there’s damp in the loft. What do I do?
Tell your landlord, who is responsible for the building. Council and housing association tenants should report it to their repairs team. 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.
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.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
