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. We can quote for a single flat or the whole block, and work to the managing agent's access and insurance requirements. More about loft insulation for a flat.

Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Torquay. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Can I insulate the loft above my flat?
