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 Alnwick
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
Photos of the finished loft
You see the work done without climbing the ladder.
We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
Boarding done properly
Storage boards go on loft legs, never straight onto the insulation.

Questions about loft insulation for a flat in Alnwick
Is loft work in Alnwick 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.

Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
Do you charge extra to travel to Alnwick?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Alnwick. 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.
Is there VAT on loft insulation in flats?
