Common loft faults here

Flats are 54% of homes here. If damp is coming through your top-floor ceiling, the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree to work in the loft above.

Terraced houses are 23% of the housing. In small terrace lofts the eaves get stuffed with insulation, air stops moving and condensation follows. Clearing the eaves usually fixes it.

Private renting is common in Salford (41%). The loft is easy for landlords to forget until damp shows through a ceiling.

Before you book, have a look for eaves packed so tight no daylight shows, water marks on the ceiling under the loft or insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.
