Loft services in Stamford
Common loft faults here
Semi-detached houses make up 35%. A frequent find: a bathroom fan blowing into the loft and black spots on the rafters above it.
29% of homes in Stamford 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.
Private renting is common in Stamford (20%). The loft is easy for landlords to forget until damp shows through a ceiling.
Signs that something is wrong up there include water marks on the ceiling under the loft, a musty smell as the hatch opens or cables buried out of sight under insulation. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Stamford: questions
What share of homes in Stamford are houses?
86% are houses or bungalows; 14% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
I rent in Stamford and there’s damp in the loft. What do I do?
Tell your landlord, who is responsible for the building. Council and housing association tenants should report it to their repairs team. Landlords can book a loft check with us.
Can I keep storing things in the loft?
Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
Can’t you just put new insulation on top?
Not over damp, soiled or mouldy insulation. That hides the problem. We fix the cause first.
Do you work outside Stamford?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Bourne, Oakham, Peterborough, Corby and Spalding. Every town we list in Lincolnshire.
