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.

In England, a loft insulated across more than half its area should reach a U-value of 0.16 W/m²K. Insulation alone is not usually notified to building control. How the rules work across the UK.
Rented homes
Privately rented homes in England must have an EPC rating of at least E, and the government has confirmed that all tenancies in scope must reach band C by 1 October 2030, measured with updated EPC metrics.

How do I pay for work in Brighton?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Is loft work in Brighton 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.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Brighton?
Clear a path to the hatch and, if you can, move stored items away from the area we will be working in. Tell us about anything heavy or fragile.
Is there VAT on loft insulation in flats?
Flats are residential, so installing insulation is zero-rated until 31 March 2027.
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.
