Loft problems we see in Hersham
38% of the housing in Hersham is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.
With 17% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Hersham. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.
If you can get into the loft, look out for boxes sitting straight on the insulation, black spots on the rafters or felt or spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Hersham: questions
What share of homes in Hersham are houses?
82% are houses or bungalows; 18% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
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.
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.
How long does a loft job take?
A check takes under an hour. Removal and new insulation usually take one or two days.
Do you work outside Hersham?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Walton-on-Thames, Weybridge, Cobham, Byfleet and West Molesey. Every town we list in Surrey.
