What is different about insulating a flat's loft?
In most leasehold flats the loft belongs to the freeholder, so the managing agent or freeholder must agree to the work. Shared lofts usually have fire separation between flats that must not be disturbed. More about loft insulation for a flat.

Yes. We also work in Falmouth and Redruth and elsewhere in Cornwall.
Is loft work in Truro different from anywhere else?
The method is the same, but older terraces, cottages and newer estates each have their own quirks: lath ceilings, low pitches or trussed roofs. We plan for the loft we find.
How soon can you visit a home in Truro?
We call you back to agree a time that suits you, and confirm the date in writing. Availability changes week to week, so we will give you the earliest slot we have.
Who pays for loft insulation in a block of flats?
If the loft is common parts, the freeholder usually arranges it and recovers the cost through the service charge, according to the lease.
Can I insulate the loft above my flat?
Usually yes, with the freeholder's consent. The lease will say who owns and maintains the roof space.
