What that means for your loft

With 27% of homes semi-detached, a common job in Haywards Heath is bringing an existing layer up to depth and adding raised storage boards so the insulation isn’t squashed.

16% of households in Haywards Heath live in a terraced house. Terrace lofts are usually compact, which keeps the amount of material down, but the work is in getting good coverage up to the party walls and into the eaves without blocking ventilation.

29% of households here live in flats. A flat usually only has a loft above it on the top floor, and work in a shared roof space needs the agreement of whoever manages the building, so mention this when you enquire.
