Loft problems we see in St Ives

Semis are 32% of homes in St Ives. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.

23% of homes in St Ives are terraces. Older terrace lofts often have no roof felt, gaps through the party walls and insulation pushed into the eaves, which is a recipe for damp timber.

21% of households rent privately. Condensation from drying clothes indoors often ends up in the loft; landlords can book a check.

Things that tell us a loft needs attention: insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists, a cold draught round the loft hatch or a musty smell as the hatch opens. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.
