Loft services in Burgess Hill
Common loft faults here
34% of homes in Burgess Hill are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.
About one in five of homes here are terraced (22%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
Signs that something is wrong up there include water marks on the ceiling under the loft, grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring or boxes sitting straight on the insulation. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Burgess Hill: questions
What type of home is most common in Burgess Hill?
Semi-detached houses, at 34% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 29%.
Is the loft check free?
Yes, with no obligation.
How do I know if my insulation needs replacing?
It’s thin, grey, damp, stained or has droppings in it, or there’s a musty smell.
There are boards nailed straight onto my joists. Is that bad?
It usually means the insulation underneath is squashed. We lift the boards, fix the insulation and put storage back on a raised floor.
I live just outside Burgess Hill. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Hassocks and Hurstpierpoint, Haywards Heath, Brighton and Hove, Lewes and Southwick are covered too. Every town we list in West Sussex.
What causes black spots on loft timber?
Usually condensation: warm, moist air from the house reaching cold timber. Fans venting into the loft and blocked eaves are common causes.
