What is different about insulating a flat's loft?
In Scotland the roof space above a tenement or block is usually owned in common under the title deeds, so you need the agreement of the other owners, often arranged through the property factor. We can quote for one flat or the whole building, and work to the factor's access and insurance requirements. More about loft insulation for a flat.
