What homes in Sandown look like
Households in Sandown: about 5,960 (Census 2021). The split is 30% detached houses and bungalows, 29% flats and maisonettes, 27% semis, 13% terraces. 66% of homes are owner-occupied, 43% of them mortgage-free; 23% are let privately and 12% by social landlords.
What Sandown lofts usually need
27% of Sandown’s housing is semi-detached. In older semis the hatch is often small; we can enlarge it for a ladder.
About one in eight of homes here are terraces (13%). Older ones may have roofs without felt, which makes airflow at the eaves important.
29% of homes in Sandown are flats. The loft above a top-floor flat usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease first.
23% of households rent privately. Landlords can book us; most rental lofts are done in a day with the tenants at home.
43% of households own outright, so many lofts here were insulated years ago to a lower standard. A top-up across the joists is usually the fix.
Measuring up means looking at how deep and how far apart the joists are, the size of the hatch and where a ladder would land and how the cables run. Then every part goes in the quote with its own price.
