What goes wrong in Truro lofts
26% of the housing in Truro is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.
With 28% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Truro. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.
22% of households rent privately. Condensation from drying clothes indoors often ends up in the loft; landlords can book a check.
Signs that something is wrong up there include black spots on the rafters or felt, spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Truro: questions
What share of homes in Truro are houses?
78% are houses or bungalows; 21% 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 Truro 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 Truro?
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
