Loft problems we see in Hitchin
Semis are 33% of homes in Hitchin. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.
With 19% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Hitchin. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.
29% of homes in Hitchin are flats. The roof space above a top-floor flat usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease before any work.
If you can get into the loft, look out for boxes sitting straight on the insulation, spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof or eaves packed so tight no daylight shows. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.
