Lofts in Fareham
33% of homes in Fareham are semi-detached. A typical semi has a roomy loft with one party wall, plenty of space to insulate well and often to store things too, on a floor raised above the insulation.
Terraces make up 22% of the housing here. Many are older, with roofs that like to stay dry, so breathable materials such as sheep’s wool can be a comfortable fit alongside good airflow at the eaves.
42% of households own their home outright, so many people have been in the same house for years. Insulation laid back then was often thinner than what’s suggested today and may have settled since.

Questions about loft insulation in Fareham
What are most homes in Fareham like?
The most common are semi-detached houses (33% of households at the 2021 Census), followed by detached houses at 27%.
How can I tell if mine is too thin?
If you can see the tops of the joists, it probably is.
My loft was insulated years ago. Should I add more?
Very possibly. If it sits level with the top of the joists or below, a second layer across them is usually worthwhile.
I’m in a village outside Fareham. Can I still ask?
Of course. Villages and nearby towns such as Lee-on-the-Solent, Locks Heath, Gosport, Portsmouth and Hedge End are all covered. See all the towns we list in Hampshire.
Can I keep my loft storage?
Yes. A floor raised on legs above the insulation keeps the storage without squashing the insulation.
Does sheep’s wool insulate as well as mineral wool?
About as well, depth for depth. People choose it because it’s pleasant to handle and copes well with damp.
