Loft insulation in Crystal Palace
Roughly a quarter of an uninsulated home's heat escapes through the roof. For Crystal Palace homeowners that is the cheapest problem in the house to fix, and the one most likely to have been fixed badly the first time. We do it properly.

Crystal Palace's homes
What we find in Crystal Palace roof spaces
The roofs over Crystal Palace are mostly slate and tile pitched roofs, with many terraces running unbroken for a considerable length, and they were built during the 1860s through the 1930s for a housing market with no expectation of thermal performance. Insulation arrived later, retrofitted into spaces never designed to accommodate it, and the results vary enormously from street to street.
On survey we routinely find the same handful of problems: material compressed to a fraction of its depth by boards laid straight onto the joists, insulation packed hard into the eaves and sealing off the roof's only ventilation path, hatches left as bare uninsulated panels, and recessed downlighters buried under wool. None of these are exotic and all of them are fixable — but they need finding first.
Subdivision into flats is very common, so ownership of the roof space is worth establishing before work is booked, which is one more reason we measure rather than assume.

Five ways we keep Crystal Palace homes warm
Every one of these begins with the same free survey and ends with a fixed price agreed before anything starts.
Loft insulation installation
270mm depthTopping up from the 100mm many Crystal Palace houses still have to a full 270mm is the cheapest meaningful energy improvement available to a UK homeowner.
Loft boarding
Storage-readyBoards laid straight onto joists crush 270mm into 100mm. We batten out instead, so Crystal Palace homeowners get usable storage and keep the insulation they paid for.
Loft ladders
Fitted in a dayThe thing that turns a loft you avoid into one you use. Grab rails and a boarded landing area where the design allows.
Loft makeovers
All-in-oneThe whole loft dealt with at once, for one fixed price. Most Crystal Palace properties are finished within a day.

Questions & answers
Crystal Palace loft insulation — common questions
Can I still use my Crystal Palace loft for storage afterwards?
You can, and most Crystal Palace customers do — but the deck has to sit above the insulation, not on it. That is the whole reason raised boarding exists. Tell us at survey stage if storage matters to you, because it changes how the insulation is planned.
Will this improve my EPC rating?
Very likely. Without documentation an assessor will often default to a pessimistic assumption about what is in the loft, so we make sure you have the paperwork to show them.
How long does the work take in a typical Crystal Palace home?
A straightforward insulation job in a three-bedroom Crystal Palace property is a half-day. Larger, cluttered or awkward-access lofts take longer, and stripping out failed material adds time — all of which is established at survey and reflected in the quote.
Will insulating my loft cause damp?
It can if the ventilation is ignored, which is why we check it before anything comes off the van. If we find an existing condensation problem in a Crystal Palace loft, we deal with the cause first rather than insulating over it.
Can you fit a loft ladder at the same time?
We fit ladders alongside insulation and boarding routinely — it is one of the main reasons the combined makeover works out cheaper than booking the elements separately.
What insulation depth do you fit?
270mm of mineral wool, cross-laid — the depth current building regulations guidance points to for a cold loft. Where a Crystal Palace property has a room in the roof and depth is constrained, we use 40mm multifoil at rafter level instead.
