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.

Questions about loft insulation for a flat in Hythe
Is loft work in Hythe 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.
Can a landlord in Hythe book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
Will I get a written quote for work in Hythe?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Can I insulate the loft above my flat?
Usually yes, with the freeholder's consent. The lease will say who owns and maintains the roof space.
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.
