Worth checking in a Lancing and Sompting loft: drips on nails on frosty mornings, droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation or insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
