Loft problems we see in Swindon
Semi-detached houses make up 27%. A frequent find: a bathroom fan blowing into the loft and black spots on the rafters above it.
With 32% of homes terraced, mice moving along the eaves from house to house are a common complaint in Swindon. Sealing the gaps comes before new insulation.
Private renting is common in Swindon (22%). The loft is easy for landlords to forget until damp shows through a ceiling.
If you can get into the loft, look out for grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring, a cold draught round the loft hatch or insulation that sits level with or below the tops of the joists. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Swindon: questions
What share of homes in Swindon are houses?
78% are houses or bungalows; 21% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
Do you work outside Swindon?
Yes, across England and Wales, including Stratton St Margaret, Royal Wootton Bassett, Cirencester, Calne and Carterton. Every town we list in Swindon.
Can I keep storing things in the loft?
Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
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.
I rent in Swindon and there’s damp in the loft. What do I do?
Tell your landlord, who is responsible for the building. Council and housing association tenants should report it to their repairs team. Landlords can book a loft check with us.
