Loft problems we see in Chorleywood

Detached houses are 59% of homes in Chorleywood. Some had spray foam added to the roof in the past, which can cause trouble when the house is sold or remortgaged.

With 20% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Chorleywood have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.

42% of households own outright, so plenty of lofts here were insulated decades ago. Old insulation that has settled, got dusty or been nested in is worth replacing.

Signs that something is wrong up there include cables buried out of sight under insulation, boxes sitting straight on the insulation or water marks on the ceiling under the loft. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Detached houses, at 59% of households in the 2021 Census, then semi-detached houses at 20%.

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.

I live just outside Chorleywood. Is that covered?

Yes. Nearby places such as Rickmansworth, Chalfont St Peter, Watford, Amersham and Abbots Langley and Kings Langley are covered too. Every town we list in Hertfordshire.

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.

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.

Will my house get dusty?

We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
