What Caterham lofts usually need
With 28% of households in semis, we often find boards nailed straight to the joists with thin, squashed insulation underneath.
13% of Caterham’s homes are terraced houses, where boxes tend to pile up on the insulation because there’s nowhere else for them. A small raised deck fixes that.
33% of homes in Caterham are flats. The loft above a top-floor flat usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease first.
When we come out in Caterham we check whether the eaves are clear, the size of the hatch and where a ladder would land and where the tank and pipes sit. Then every part goes in the quote with its own price.
