Loft problems we see in Crawley
37% of households here live in terraced houses, many with slate roofs and no felt. Those lofts need airflow, so insulation must stop short of the eaves.
22% of homes in Crawley are semis. Their roomy lofts tend to have decades of storage sitting on thin, flattened insulation, often on boards nailed straight to the joists.
Flats are 27% of homes here. If damp is coming through your top-floor ceiling, the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree to work in the loft above.
20% of households rent privately. Condensation from drying clothes indoors often ends up in the loft; landlords can book a check.
Things that tell us a loft needs attention: a cold draught round the loft hatch, spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof or water marks on the ceiling under the loft. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.

Loft problems in Crawley: questions
What type of home is most common in Crawley?
Terraced houses, at 37% of households in the 2021 Census, then flats at 27%.
I live just outside Crawley. Is that covered?
Yes. Nearby places such as Horley, Horsham, East Grinstead, Redhill and Reigate are covered too. Every town we list in West Sussex.
Will my house get dusty?
We protect the hatch and landing and bag everything in the loft.
Do you work for landlords in Crawley?
Yes. We arrange access with you and your tenants and send photos of what we find.
There are boards nailed straight onto my joists. Is that bad?
It usually means the insulation underneath is squashed. We lift the boards, fix the insulation and put storage back on a raised floor.
How do I know if my insulation needs replacing?
It’s thin, grey, damp, stained or has droppings in it, or there’s a musty smell.
