Loft insulation in Horley’s homes
Semi-detached homes (33% here) share one party wall and often have a reasonable amount of loft space. That makes them good candidates for raised boarding over the insulation if you want to keep using the loft for storage.
About one in eight of homes in Horley are terraced (16%). 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.
Only top-floor flats sit under a loft, and in most blocks the roof space belongs to the freeholder or is managed by a management company or housing association. If you live in one of the 25% of Horley homes that are flats, check who is responsible for the roof space before arranging work.

Loft insulation in Horley: questions
What kind of homes are there in Horley?
At the 2021 Census, 33% of households in Horley lived in semi-detached houses, 26% in detached houses, 25% in flats and 16% in terraced houses.
Do you cover the villages around Horley?
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.
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.
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.
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.
