Loft problems in Southwark: questions
How many homes in Southwark are flats?
78% of households were in flats or maisonettes at the 2021 Census; 22% in houses or bungalows.
I live just outside Southwark. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Lambeth, Lewisham, Tower Hamlets, Westminster and Wandsworth are covered too.
How do I know if my insulation needs replacing?
It’s thin, grey, damp, stained or has droppings in it, or there’s a musty smell.
Do you work for landlords in Southwark?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
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.
Can you fix the loft above my top-floor flat?
Usually only with the freeholder’s or managing agent’s agreement. Check your lease first.
