Loft services in Poole
Common loft faults here
With 20% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Poole have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
12% of households here live in terraced houses, many with slate roofs and no felt. Those lofts need airflow, so insulation must stop short of the eaves.
Flats are 31% 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.
In Poole, 20% of homes are privately rented. Tenants spotting damp on top-floor ceilings should tell the landlord, who can arrange a check.
If you can get into the loft, look out for insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists, cables buried out of sight under insulation or droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Poole: questions
What type of home is most common in Poole?
Detached houses, at 36% of households in the 2021 Census, then flats at 31%.
I live just outside Poole. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Bournemouth, Corfe Mullen, Wimborne Minster, Ferndown and West Moors are covered too. Every town we list in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.
How do I know if my insulation needs replacing?
It’s thin, grey, damp, stained or has droppings in it, or there’s a musty smell.
Do you work for landlords in Poole?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
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.
