What goes wrong in Ewell lofts

With 33% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Ewell have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.

14% of households here live in terraced houses, many with slate roofs and no felt. Those lofts need airflow, so insulation must stop short of the eaves.

40% of homes are owned outright. Long ownership often means a loft nobody has looked in for years, with whatever problems have built up.

Worth checking in a Ewell loft: black spots on the rafters or felt, spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof or insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Ewell: questions

What type of home is most common in Ewell?

Semi-detached houses, at 33% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 31%.

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.

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.

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.

Is the loft check free?

Yes, with no obligation.

I live just outside Ewell. Is that covered?

Yes. Nearby places such as Epsom, Worcester Park and Stoneleigh, Tadworth and Epsom Downs, Sutton and Kingston upon Thames are covered too. Every town we list in Surrey.
