Common loft faults here
33% of the housing in Fareham is semi-detached. When we open those hatches we often find cables buried under old insulation and eaves packed tight.
22% of homes in Fareham are terraces. Older terrace lofts often have no roof felt, gaps through the party walls and insulation pushed into the eaves, which is a recipe for damp timber.
Many households here (42%) own outright. Lofts that were insulated back when they moved in are often thin, dusty and due a look.
Things that tell us a loft needs attention: water marks on the ceiling under the loft, eaves packed so tight no daylight shows or black spots on the rafters or felt. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Fareham: questions
What share of homes in Fareham are houses?
82% are houses or bungalows; 19% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
Do you work outside Fareham?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Lee-on-the-Solent, Locks Heath, Gosport, Portsmouth and Hedge End. Every town we list in Hampshire.
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.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
Can I keep storing things in the loft?
Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
My loft insulation is decades old. Does it need replacing?
If it’s dry and clean, a top-up may be enough. If it’s dusty, damp or soiled, it should come out.
