What goes wrong in Hythe lofts
Semis are 28% of homes in Hythe. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.
Terraces account for 20% of Hythe’s homes. Where party walls stop short in the loft, warm air, smells and pests pass between houses; we close the gaps on your side.
Many households here (49%) 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 cables buried out of sight under insulation, drips on nails on frosty mornings or a cold draught round the loft hatch. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Hythe: questions
What share of homes in Hythe are houses?
74% are houses or bungalows; 24% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
I rent in Hythe and there’s damp in the loft. What do I do?
Tell your landlord, who is responsible for the building. Landlords can book a loft check with us.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
Do you work outside Hythe?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Folkestone, Ashford, Dover, Canterbury and Deal. Every town we list in Kent.
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.
