Loft problems we see in Wantage
With 34% of households in semis, a lot of the lofts we see in Wantage have old insulation that needs stripping out rather than topping up.
20% 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.
Things that tell us a loft needs attention: black spots on the rafters or felt, cables buried out of sight under insulation or grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring. Each has a cause we can usually find and fix.

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.
I live just outside Wantage. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Didcot, Abingdon-on-Thames, Carterton, Oxford and Newbury are covered too. Every town we list in Oxfordshire.
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.
