Loft problems we see in Ashtead
Around two in five of homes in Ashtead are detached (46%). The more loft there is, the more it costs when damp or pests spoil the insulation, so it pays to catch problems early.
Semis are 31% of homes in Ashtead. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.
Many households here (45%) own outright. Lofts that were insulated back when they moved in are often thin, dusty and due a look.
Signs that something is wrong up there include eaves packed so tight no daylight shows, insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists or spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Ashtead: questions
What share of homes in Ashtead are houses?
84% are houses or bungalows; 16% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
My loft insulation is decades old. Does it need replacing?
If it’s dry and clean, a top-up may be enough. If it’s dusty, damp or soiled, it should come out.
Do you work outside Ashtead?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Leatherhead, Epsom, Tadworth and Epsom Downs, Ewell and Great Bookham and Fetcham. Every town we list in Surrey.
My surveyor flagged spray foam. Can you remove it?
Yes. We cut it off by hand, leave the timbers visible and give you photos for your lender.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
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.
