What is different about insulating a flat's loft?

Questions about loft insulation for a flat in Dorking

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.

Ask about early, late or weekend appointments when you get in touch, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you take on jobs outside Dorking?
Yes. We also work in Leatherhead and Reigate and elsewhere in Surrey.
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.
