Loft services in Winchester
Common loft faults here
Semis are 24% of homes in Winchester. One shared wall, a big hipped or gabled loft, and often a cold tank and pipes sitting in it unlagged.
26% of homes in Winchester are terraces. Older terrace lofts often have no roof felt, gaps through the party walls and insulation pushed into the eaves, which is a recipe for damp timber.
28% of homes in Winchester are flats. The roof space above a top-floor flat usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease before any work.
Private renting is common in Winchester (22%). The loft is easy for landlords to forget until damp shows through a ceiling.
Worth checking in a Winchester loft: water marks on the ceiling under the loft, droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation or cables buried out of sight under insulation. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Winchester: questions
What share of homes in Winchester are houses?
72% are houses or bungalows; 28% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
Can I keep storing things in the loft?
Yes, on a floor raised above the insulation so it isn’t squashed.
Do you work outside Winchester?
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
I rent in Winchester 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.
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.
