Loft services in Crewe
What that means for your loft
Semis make up 40% of homes here. In many, the loft is used for storage and the insulation has been pushed aside or flattened over the years, so even an insulated loft can be worth a second look.
24% of households in Crewe live in a terraced house. Terrace lofts are usually compact, which keeps the amount of material down, but the work is in getting good coverage up to the party walls and into the eaves without blocking ventilation.
With 23% of households in private rented homes, tenants in Crewe should talk to their landlord about insulation. Most improvements to the building are the landlord’s to arrange.

Can you give me a price for Crewe?
Yes, once we know about your loft. Size, existing insulation, access and any boarding or removal all affect it, and it’s confirmed in writing before you agree to anything.
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.
Can landlords in Crewe get quotes?
Yes. 23% of households in Crewe 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.
