Shrewsbury’s homes by the numbers
The last Census, in 2021, found around 35,100 households in Shrewsbury. The split is 38% semis, 24% detached houses and bungalows, 23% terraces, 15% flats and maisonettes. 66% of homes are owner-occupied, 37% of them mortgage-free; 19% are let privately and 15% by social landlords. Homes with three bedrooms or more: roughly 66%, and 22% have four or more.
What Shrewsbury lofts usually need
With 38% of households in semis, we often find boards nailed straight to the joists with thin, squashed insulation underneath.
About a quarter of homes here are terraces (23%). Older ones may have roofs without felt, which makes airflow at the eaves important.
Before quoting, we measure the headroom where a storage floor could go, the size of the hatch and where a ladder would land and how the cables run. Then every part goes in the quote with its own price.

From Shrewsbury out to Telford, Oswestry, Newport, Market Drayton and Bridgnorth, we can measure up.
If you’d like a natural material such as sheep’s wool, say so and we’ll price it alongside mineral wool.
