Loft services in Southwick
What goes wrong in Southwick lofts
Around two in five of homes here are semi-detached (41%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
About one in five of homes here are terraced (18%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
Signs that something is wrong up there include drips on nails on frosty mornings, grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring or spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Southwick: questions
What type of home is most common in Southwick?
Semi-detached houses, at 41% of households in the 2021 Census, then flats at 24%.
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.
Is the loft check free?
Yes, with no obligation.
Do you work for landlords in Southwick?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
I live just outside Southwick. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Shoreham-by-Sea, Lancing and Sompting, Brighton and Hove, Worthing and Hassocks and Hurstpierpoint are covered too. Every town we list in West Sussex.
There are boards nailed straight onto my joists. Is that bad?
It usually means the insulation underneath is squashed. We lift the boards, fix the insulation and put storage back on a raised floor.
