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.

Why book with us in Larne
Tidy work
Dust sheets on the route in and every bit of packaging taken away.
We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
Tank and pipes protected
Every insulation job includes a tank jacket and pipe lagging, so nothing freezes in a colder loft.
How much does loft insulation for a flat cost in Larne?
Installing insulation in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027 and 5% after that, under HMRC's rules for energy-saving materials (notice 708/6).

Rented homes
Northern Ireland sets its own rules for rented homes, separate from Great Britain. The Housing Executive and your council can explain what applies.

Usually yes, with the freeholder's consent. The lease will say who owns and maintains the roof space.
