What goes wrong in Hassocks and Hurstpierpoint lofts

Semis are 35% of homes in Hassocks and Hurstpierpoint. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.

With 12% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Hassocks and Hurstpierpoint. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.

Many households here (41%) own outright. Lofts that were insulated back when they moved in are often thin, dusty and due a look.

Signs that something is wrong up there include a musty smell as the hatch opens, drips on nails on frosty mornings or insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

What share of homes in Hassocks and Hurstpierpoint are houses?

85% are houses or bungalows; 15% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).

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.

Where does new insulation go?

On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.

Can I keep storing things in the loft?

Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.

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.
