Loft problems in Sheerness: questions
What type of home is most common in Sheerness?
Terraced houses, at 47% of households in the 2021 Census, then flats at 24%.
Do you work for landlords in Sheerness?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
How do I know if my insulation needs replacing?
It’s thin, grey, damp, stained or has droppings in it, or there’s a musty smell.
I live just outside Sheerness. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Minster, Sittingbourne, Southend-on-Sea, Gillingham and Canvey Island are covered too. Every town we list in Kent.
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.
Can mice get in from next door?
In terraces they often travel along the eaves. We seal the gaps on your side and clear out spoiled insulation.
