Common loft jobs in Reigate
Semis make up 29% 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.
14% of households in Reigate 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.
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 31% of Reigate homes that are flats, check who is responsible for the roof space before arranging work.

Loft insulation in Reigate: questions
How common are flats in Reigate?
Very: 31% of households lived in flats at the 2021 Census, the largest group, ahead of semi-detached houses at 29%.
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.
Do you cover the villages around Reigate?
Yes. We take enquiries from anywhere in England and Wales, so villages and smaller places around Reigate are covered too, as are nearby towns such as Redhill, Horley, Tadworth and Epsom Downs, Dorking and Leatherhead. See every town we list in Surrey.
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.
Who will carry out the work?
We will. We look at the loft, quote in writing and, if you go ahead, carry out the work on a date that suits you.
Can landlords in Reigate get quotes?
Yes. 17% of households in Reigate 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.
