What homes in Farnham are like
About 20,500 people live in Farnham, in roughly 8,670 households, according to the 2021 Census. Detached houses or bungalows make up 37% of homes here; flats or maisonettes account for 25%, semi-detached 24% and terraced 14%. Most of the housing here is owner-occupied: 68% of households own their home, 18% rent from a private landlord and 14% rent social housing. More than half of homes (63%) have at least three bedrooms. The median age of residents is 42.
What that means for your loft
With 37% of homes detached, larger lofts are common here. A bigger roof space takes more insulation, and it is worth checking that ventilation at the eaves is kept clear across the whole area.
Many semis have lofts that have been part-boarded over the years, often straight onto the joists. Where that has flattened the insulation underneath, raised boarding lets you keep the storage and restore the insulation; 24% of homes in Farnham are semi-detached.
Around 25% of Farnham homes are flats or maisonettes. If your flat is on the top floor, the loft above is often shared with neighbours or belongs to the freeholder, so permission comes first.

Loft insulation in Farnham: questions

How do I know if my loft needs more insulation?
If the insulation is level with or below the top of the joists, it’s likely well short of the 270mm commonly recommended for mineral wool. We will check when we look.
Will I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the loft hatch. We agree the details with you when you book.
I live in a top-floor flat. Can I insulate the loft above me?
Usually only with the agreement of whoever owns or manages the roof space, often the freeholder or a management company. Check that first, then mention it when you enquire.
Can landlords in Farnham get quotes?
Yes. 18% of households in Farnham rent privately, and landlords can request a quote in the same way as owner-occupiers. Tenants should raise insulation with their landlord rather than arranging work themselves.
