What is a loft condensation investigation?
We inspect the loft in daylight and by torch, measure moisture in the timbers, check the underlay, ventilation, insulation and the routes that let warm air in from the house, and look at the roof from outside. You get written findings with photos and a plain list of what we recommend, which may include work we do not offer. More about a loft condensation investigation.

Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.

Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Cockermouth. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Is the investigation fee taken off the work?

A little on the coldest nights can be normal, especially with old felt. Dripping, wet insulation or mould are signs to investigate.
