Common loft faults here

Semi-detached houses make up 46%. A frequent find: a bathroom fan blowing into the loft and black spots on the rafters above it.

28% of homes in Stanford-le-Hope 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.

Things that tell us a loft needs attention: a musty smell as the hatch opens, a cold draught round the loft hatch or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.
