Loft problems we see in Wellingborough
Semis are 32% of homes in Wellingborough. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.
29% of homes in Wellingborough 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.
In Wellingborough, 21% of homes are privately rented. Tenants spotting damp on top-floor ceilings should tell the landlord, who can arrange a check.
If you can get into the loft, look out for water marks on the ceiling under the loft, 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.

Loft problems in Wellingborough: questions
What share of homes in Wellingborough are houses?
83% are houses or bungalows; 17% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
Do you work outside Wellingborough?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Burton Latimer, Rushden, Kettering, Raunds and Northampton. Every town we list in North Northamptonshire.
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.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
I rent in Wellingborough 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.
