Loft problems we see in South Hayling
Detached homes, 46% here, often have larger, newer lofts. Squashed insulation round the hatch and blocked eaves are the usual snags.
Semi-detached houses make up 19%. A frequent find: a bathroom fan blowing into the loft and black spots on the rafters above it.
25% of homes in South Hayling are flats. The roof space above a top-floor flat usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease before any work.
Many households here (52%) own outright. Lofts that were insulated back when they moved in are often thin, dusty and due a look.
Things that tell us a loft needs attention: droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation, a musty smell as the hatch opens or spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

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.
