Common loft jobs in Shoreham-by-Sea

Semis make up 33% of homes here. In many, the loft is used for storage and the insulation has been pushed aside or flattened over the years, so even an insulated loft can be worth a second look.

About a quarter of homes in Shoreham-by-Sea are terraced (23%). Small lofts mean smaller jobs, but storage often ends up on the insulation in a tight space, so many terrace jobs combine a top-up with a small area of raised boarding.

Around 26% of Shoreham-by-Sea homes are flats or maisonettes. If your flat is on the top floor, the loft above is often shared with neighbours or belongs to the freeholder, so permission comes first.

40% of homes are owned outright, so many households have been in place for a long time. Insulation fitted when they moved in may be well short of today’s recommended depth, especially if the loft has been used for storage.
