Loft problems we see in Torquay
44% of homes in Torquay are flats. The roof space above a top-floor flat usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease before any work.
With 25% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Torquay. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.
34% of households rent privately. Condensation from drying clothes indoors often ends up in the loft; landlords can book a check.
If you can get into the loft, look out for insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists, black spots on the rafters or felt or water marks on the ceiling under the loft. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.
