Loft services in Crawley
What homes in Crawley are like
About 121,000 people live in Crawley, in roughly 47,700 households, according to the 2021 Census. Terraced make up 37% of homes here; flats or maisonettes account for 27%, semi-detached 22% and detached houses or bungalows 14%. Home ownership stands at 57% (24% own outright), with 20% of households renting privately and 23% in social housing. More than half of homes (63%) have at least three bedrooms. The median age of residents is 36.
What that means for your loft
About a third of homes in Crawley are terraced (37%). Small lofts mean smaller jobs, but storage often ends up on the insulation in a tight space, so many terrace jobs combine a top-up with a small area of raised boarding.
22% of households in Crawley live in a semi-detached house. A typical semi has a loft big enough for storage, a hatch on the landing and one party wall to insulate up to; we check all three.
27% of households here live in flats. A flat usually only has a loft above it on the top floor, and work in a shared roof space needs the agreement of whoever manages the building, so mention this when you enquire.
With 20% of households in private rented homes, tenants in Crawley should talk to their landlord about insulation. Most improvements to the building are the landlord’s to arrange.

Loft insulation in Crawley: questions
What kind of homes are there in Crawley?
At the 2021 Census, 37% of households in Crawley lived in terraced houses, 27% in flats, 22% in semi-detached houses and 14% in detached houses.
Which areas near Crawley do you cover?

My loft is boarded. Can it still be insulated?
Often, yes. Boards screwed straight onto the joists usually squash the insulation below. A common fix is to lift them, bring the insulation up to depth and fit raised boarding so you keep the storage space.
What if there’s damp or mould in my loft?
Mention it when you enquire. Damp or mouldy insulation normally needs removing, and the cause (a leak or poor ventilation, for example) dealing with, before new insulation goes in.
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.
Can landlords in Crawley get quotes?
Yes. 20% of households in Crawley 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.
