New Build
Loud bangs coming from the loft
Anonymous user 16 March 2024 - 3.30 PM
There are very loud bangs coming from the loft in my new build apartment I’ve recently moved into, mostly during the night when the temperature drops and again in the morning when the sun rises. These sound like loud thuds and nails popping. My guess is thermal contraction as the loft is constructed of metal and wood. The loft does not have easy access. How would I go about getting this inspected and what field of work should I be contacting?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

You could always get a handyman or maintenance man to go up and have a look at what may be causing it, could also be coming from on top of your roof however if as you say there’s loads of metal up there then it maybe a case of removing the metal stored up there
