What goes wrong in Andover lofts
With 27% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Andover have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
About a quarter of homes here are terraced (30%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
If you can get into the loft, look out for spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof, drips on nails on frosty mornings or boxes sitting straight on the insulation. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Andover: questions
What type of home is most common in Andover?
Terraced houses, at 30% of households in the 2021 Census, then semi-detached houses at 27%.
There are boards nailed straight onto my joists. Is that bad?
It usually means the insulation underneath is squashed. We lift the boards, fix the insulation and put storage back on a raised floor.
What causes black spots on loft timber?
Usually condensation: warm, moist air from the house reaching cold timber. Fans venting into the loft and blocked eaves are common causes.
Do you work for landlords in Andover?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
I live just outside Andover. Is that covered?
Is the loft check free?
