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. Shared roof spaces usually have fire separation between flats that must not be disturbed. More about loft insulation for a flat.

- Single-flat or whole-block quotes
