Terraces make up 17% of the housing here. Many are older, with roofs that like to stay dry, so breathable materials such as sheep’s wool can be a comfortable fit alongside good airflow at the eaves.
Flats and maisonettes account for 29% of homes here. If yours is on the top floor, the loft above is often shared, and the freeholder or managing agent will need to agree to any work.

Questions about loft insulation in East Grinstead
What are most homes in East Grinstead like?
The most common are detached houses (31% of households at the 2021 Census), followed by flats at 29%.
Is natural insulation more expensive?
Usually, yes. Sheep’s wool and recycled polyester cost more than mineral wool; we can quote for both.
Does sheep’s wool insulate as well as mineral wool?
About as well, depth for depth. People choose it because it’s pleasant to handle and copes well with damp.
Can I keep my loft storage?
Yes. A floor raised on legs above the insulation keeps the storage without squashing the insulation.
I’m in a village outside East Grinstead. Can I still ask?
Of course. Villages and nearby towns such as Horley, Crawley, Oxted, Crowborough and Haywards Heath are all covered. See all the towns we list in West Sussex.

Usually only with the freeholder’s or managing agent’s agreement. Check your lease, then let us know when you get in touch.
