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.

Building regulations in England
In England, a loft insulated across more than half its area should reach a U-value of 0.16 W/m²K. Insulation alone is not usually notified to building control. How the rules work across the UK.
Questions about a loft condensation investigation in Penrith
Do you cover all of CA11?
Yes, we cover the CA11 postcode district and the districts around Penrith.

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.
