Loft problems we see in Staines-upon-Thames

With 30% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Staines-upon-Thames have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.

19% of households here live in terraced houses, many with slate roofs and no felt. Those lofts need airflow, so insulation must stop short of the eaves.

Flats are 34% 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.

In Staines-upon-Thames, 23% of homes are privately rented. Tenants spotting damp on top-floor ceilings should tell the landlord, who can arrange a check.

If you can get into the loft, look out for a musty smell as the hatch opens, eaves packed so tight no daylight shows or water marks on the ceiling under the loft. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Staines-upon-Thames: questions

What type of home is most common in Staines-upon-Thames?

Flats, at 34% of households in the 2021 Census, then semi-detached houses at 30%.

I live just outside Staines-upon-Thames. Is that covered?

Yes. Nearby places such as Ashford, Stanwell, Egham, Chertsey and Addlestone are covered too. Every town we list in Surrey.

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.

There are boards nailed straight onto my joists. Is that bad?

It usually means the insulation underneath is squashed. We lift the boards, fix the insulation and put storage back on a raised floor.

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.

Will my house get dusty?

We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
