Loft services in Polegate
Common loft faults here
48% of the housing in Polegate is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.
With 13% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Polegate. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.
With 43% owning outright, many people in Polegate have lived with the same loft for years. Insulation level with the joists is a sign it’s time to look.
If you can get into the loft, look out for water marks on the ceiling under the loft, insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists or a musty smell as the hatch opens. Any one of them is worth a free check.
