Common loft faults here

26% of the housing in Great Bookham and Fetcham is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.

Many households here (48%) own outright. Lofts that were insulated back when they moved in are often thin, dusty and due a look.

If you can get into the loft, look out for boxes sitting straight on the insulation, water marks on the ceiling under the loft or eaves packed so tight no daylight shows. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.
