What goes wrong in Horley lofts
About a third of homes here are semi-detached (33%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
16% of households here live in terraced houses, many with slate roofs and no felt. Those lofts need airflow, so insulation must stop short of the eaves.
Flats are 25% of homes here. If damp is coming through your top-floor ceiling, the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree to work in the loft above.
Things that tell us a loft needs attention: boxes sitting straight on the insulation, a musty smell as the hatch opens or spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.
