Loft services in Barnham
Common loft faults here
43% of homes here are detached. Big lofts mean big areas of spoiled insulation when something goes wrong, and long eaves where pests can find a way in.
28% of homes in Barnham are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.
42% of homes are owned outright. Long ownership often means a loft nobody has looked in for years, with whatever problems have built up.
Signs that something is wrong up there include black spots on the rafters or felt, boxes sitting straight on the insulation or eaves packed so tight no daylight shows. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.
