Esher
Spray foam, loft insulation and damp in Esher homes
Esher has a long history as a coaching stop on the Portsmouth Road, and the village centre still has Georgian and Victorian buildings in its conservation area. Claremont Landscape Garden and Sandown Park racecourse sit on either side of it, and the roads off the High Street are known for large detached houses in big gardens.
Those big houses bring big lofts. Edwardian, interwar and later detached homes here often have several roof sections, dormers, extensions and loft rooms, each with its own insulation story. It is common to find one part well insulated and another almost bare. We survey the whole roof, not just the hatch, so the price covers what is really there.
KT10 also takes in Claygate, Hinchley Wood and Weston Green. Hinchley Wood grew around its station in the 1930s, so it is mostly interwar semis and detached houses that suit a straightforward top-up and raised boarding. Claygate is an older village that grew with the railway and takes its name from the clay it sits on.
That London Clay matters for damp. It holds water, so raised paths, patios and leaking downpipes against walls are common causes of damp in older homes. We check outside before inside. Spray foam has also been fitted in some Esher lofts, and many lenders and surveyors are cautious about spray foam. We remove it and supply a Certificate of Removal. Insulation is Knauf mineral wool to 300mm.

Questions we get in Esher
Do you cover Claygate and Hinchley Wood?
Yes. We cover the whole of KT10 from our Sevenoaks office, including Esher, Claygate, Hinchley Wood and Weston Green. Surveys for loft insulation and spray foam removal are free, and you get a written price before any work is agreed, with no pressure to go ahead.
My Esher house has several roof spaces. Do you check them all?
Yes. Large detached homes often have a main loft, extension roofs, dormers and eaves behind loft rooms, and insulation is rarely even across them. We check every space we can safely reach and price each one clearly, so there are no surprises once work starts.
Why do older Claygate homes get damp?
Claygate sits on London Clay, which holds water. Paths, patios and beds built up against walls can bridge the damp course, and leaking gutters make it worse. We check outside first and explain what will genuinely help. Damp proofing comes with a 25-year insurance-backed guarantee.
Is spray foam a concern in a high value Esher home?
Yes, especially when selling or remortgaging. Many lenders and surveyors are cautious about spray foam because it hides the roof timbers and can hold moisture against them. We remove it by hand, clean the timbers and provide a Certificate of Removal and a 10-year guarantee.
What insulation do you use?
Knauf mineral wool laid to 300mm, which is above the 270mm guidance. It is breathable, non-combustible and suits older timbers. Where you need storage, we fit raised boarding so the insulation keeps its full depth. Insulation work is covered by a 10-year guarantee.
