Questions about loft insulation for a flat in Herne Bay
Is loft work in Herne Bay 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.

Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Herne Bay. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
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.
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.
