Loft problems we see in Rickmansworth

Semis are 42% of homes in Rickmansworth. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.

15% of homes in Rickmansworth are terraces. Older terrace lofts often have no roof felt, gaps through the party walls and insulation pushed into the eaves, which is a recipe for damp timber.

25% of homes in Rickmansworth are flats. The roof space above a top-floor flat usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease before any work.

Before you book, have a look for droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation, insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists or cables buried out of sight under insulation. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.
