Loft problems we see in St Austell
About a third of homes here are semi-detached (31%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
Terraced houses are 18% 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.
21% of households rent privately. Condensation from drying clothes indoors often ends up in the loft; landlords can book a check.
Signs that something is wrong up there include water marks on the ceiling under the loft, spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof or a cold draught round the loft hatch. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.
