Loft services in Eastbourne
What goes wrong in Eastbourne lofts
39% of homes in Eastbourne are flats. The roof space above a top-floor flat usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease before any work.
23% of homes in Eastbourne are terraces. Older terrace lofts often have no roof felt, gaps through the party walls and insulation pushed into the eaves, which is a recipe for damp timber.
In Eastbourne, 26% of homes are privately rented. Tenants spotting damp on top-floor ceilings should tell the landlord, who can arrange a check.
Signs that something is wrong up there include boxes sitting straight on the insulation, droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Eastbourne: questions
What share of homes in Eastbourne are houses?
61% are houses or bungalows; 39% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
I rent in Eastbourne and there’s damp in the loft. What do I do?
Tell your landlord, who is responsible for the building. Landlords can book a loft check with us.
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.
Can you fix the loft above my top-floor flat?
Usually only with the freeholder’s or managing agent’s agreement. Check your lease first.
Do you work outside Eastbourne?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Polegate, Hailsham, Seaford, Bexhill-on-Sea and Newhaven. Every town we list in East Sussex.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
