Loft services in Waltham Cross
Common loft faults here
Flats are 41% of homes here. If damp is coming through your top-floor ceiling, the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree to work in the loft above.
Terraced houses are 31% of the housing. In small terrace lofts the eaves get stuffed with insulation, air stops moving and condensation follows. Clearing the eaves usually fixes it.
24% of households rent privately. Condensation from drying clothes indoors often ends up in the loft; landlords can book a check.
Before you book, have a look for water marks on the ceiling under the loft, a cold draught round the loft hatch or black spots on the rafters or felt. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.
