What goes wrong in Horndean lofts

Detached houses are 44% of homes in Horndean. Some had spray foam added to the roof in the past, which can cause trouble when the house is sold or remortgaged.

About a quarter of homes here are semi-detached (28%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.

43% of homes are owned outright. Long ownership often means a loft nobody has looked in for years, with whatever problems have built up.

Signs that something is wrong up there include drips on nails on frosty mornings, a cold draught round the loft hatch or boxes sitting straight on the insulation. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Horndean: questions

What type of home is most common in Horndean?

Detached houses, at 44% of households in the 2021 Census, then semi-detached houses at 28%.

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.

My surveyor flagged spray foam. Can you remove it?

Yes. We cut it off by hand, leave the timbers visible and give you photos for your lender.

Is the loft check free?

Yes, with no obligation.

What causes black spots on loft timber?

Usually condensation: warm, moist air from the house reaching cold timber. Fans venting into the loft and blocked eaves are common causes.

I live just outside Horndean. Is that covered?

Yes. Nearby places such as Waterlooville, Havant, Emsworth, Portsmouth and Petersfield are covered too. Every town we list in Hampshire.
