Loft problems we see in Ringwood
About a quarter of homes here are semi-detached (29%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
15% 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.
41% of homes are owned outright. Long ownership often means a loft nobody has looked in for years, with whatever problems have built up.
If you can get into the loft, look out for water marks on the ceiling under the loft, grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring or a musty smell as the hatch opens. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

Loft problems in Ringwood: questions
What type of home is most common in Ringwood?
Detached houses, at 34% of households in the 2021 Census, then semi-detached houses at 29%.
Do you work for landlords in Ringwood?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
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.
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.
I live just outside Ringwood. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Verwood, West Moors, Ferndown, Christchurch and New Milton are covered too. Every town we list in Hampshire.
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
