What goes wrong in New Milton lofts
16% of homes in New Milton are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.
About one in five of homes here are terraced (17%). Small lofts fill up with storage fast, and the insulation underneath ends up flat and cold.
Flats are 32% of homes here. If damp is coming through your top-floor ceiling, the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree to work in the loft above.
45% of households own outright, so plenty of lofts here were insulated decades ago. Old insulation that has settled, got dusty or been nested in is worth replacing.
Things that tell us a loft needs attention: insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists, spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof or droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.
