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.

If the loft is common parts, the freeholder usually arranges it and recovers the cost through the service charge, according to the lease.
