Common loft faults here

About a third of homes here are semi-detached (33%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.

About a quarter of homes here are terraced (23%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.

Flats are 26% 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.

40% of homes are owned outright. Long ownership often means a loft nobody has looked in for years, with whatever problems have built up.

Things that tell us a loft needs attention: black spots on the rafters or felt, eaves packed so tight no daylight shows or droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.
