Loft problems in Thetford: questions
What share of homes in Thetford are houses?
85% are houses or bungalows; 14% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
Can I keep storing things in the loft?
Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
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.
I rent in Thetford 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.
Do you work outside Thetford?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Watton, Bury St Edmunds, Attleborough, Soham and Newmarket. Every town we list in Norfolk.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
