Loft insulation for Fareham homes
Semi-detached homes account for 33%. Many were insulated years ago, and a top-up across the joists brings them up to today’s commonly recommended depth.
With 22% of homes terraced, plenty of Fareham families have compact lofts above high-ceilinged bedrooms. A good layer of insulation keeps those rooms warm.
With 42% of homes owned outright, plenty of Fareham lofts still have their original insulation. A top-up can make a lovely difference.
