Loft problems we see in Alton
Semis are 29% of homes in Alton. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.
With 22% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Alton. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.
27% of homes in Alton are flats. The roof space above a top-floor flat usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease before any work.
If you can get into the loft, look out for drips on nails on frosty mornings, black spots on the rafters or felt or a musty smell as the hatch opens. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Alton: questions
What share of homes in Alton are houses?
73% are houses or bungalows; 27% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
Do you work outside Alton?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Farnham, Basingstoke, Weybourne, Fleet and Petersfield. Every town we list in Hampshire.
Can you fix the loft above my top-floor flat?
Usually only with the freeholder’s or managing agent’s agreement. Check your lease first.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
I rent in Alton and there’s damp in the loft. What do I do?
Tell your landlord, who is responsible for the building. Council and housing association tenants should report it to their repairs team. Landlords can book a loft check with us.
Can’t you just put new insulation on top?
Not over damp, soiled or mouldy insulation. That hides the problem. We fix the cause first.
