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.

Why book with us in Hedge End
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
Boarding done properly
Storage boards go on loft legs, never straight onto the insulation.
Tank and pipes protected
Every insulation job includes a tank jacket and pipe lagging, so nothing freezes in a colder loft.
We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
How much does loft insulation for a flat cost in Hedge End?
