Loft services in Rochester
Common loft faults here
32% of homes in Rochester are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.
36% of households here live in terraced houses, many with slate roofs and no felt. Those lofts need airflow, so insulation must stop short of the eaves.
Signs that something is wrong up there include black spots on the rafters or felt, a musty smell as the hatch opens or cables buried out of sight under insulation. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Rochester: questions
What type of home is most common in Rochester?
Terraced houses, at 36% of households in the 2021 Census, then semi-detached houses at 32%.
What causes black spots on loft timber?
Usually condensation: warm, moist air from the house reaching cold timber. Fans venting into the loft and blocked eaves are common causes.
I live just outside Rochester. Is that covered?
Do you work for landlords in Rochester?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
There are boards nailed straight onto my joists. Is that bad?
It usually means the insulation underneath is squashed. We lift the boards, fix the insulation and put storage back on a raised floor.
Is the loft check free?
Yes, with no obligation.
