Loft services in Rhondda
Common loft faults here
Terraces account for 72% of Rhondda’s homes. Where party walls stop short in the loft, warm air, smells and pests pass between houses; we close the gaps on your side.
Semi-detached houses make up 11%. A frequent find: a bathroom fan blowing into the loft and black spots on the rafters above it.
21% of households rent privately. Condensation from drying clothes indoors often ends up in the loft; landlords can book a check.
Many households here (40%) 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 boxes sitting straight on the insulation, a musty smell as the hatch opens or black spots on the rafters or felt. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.
