Loft services in Hailsham
Common loft faults here
36% of homes in Hailsham are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.
Terraced houses are 20% of the housing. In small terrace lofts the eaves get stuffed with insulation, air stops moving and condensation follows. Clearing the eaves usually fixes it.
40% 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 droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation, water marks on the ceiling under the loft or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Hailsham: questions
What type of home is most common in Hailsham?
Semi-detached houses, at 36% of households in the 2021 Census, then detached houses at 30%.
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.
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.
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
I live just outside Hailsham. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Polegate, Eastbourne, Bexhill-on-Sea, Seaford and Uckfield are covered too. Every town we list in East Sussex.
