Questions about loft insulation for a flat in St Albans
Is loft work in St Albans 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 you visit St Albans outside working hours?
Ask about early, late or weekend appointments when you get in touch, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What do I need to do before you arrive in St Albans?
Clear a path to the hatch and, if you can, move stored items away from the area we will be working in. Tell us about anything heavy or fragile.
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.
Is there VAT on loft insulation in flats?
Flats are residential, so installing insulation is zero-rated until 31 March 2027.
