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 Melksham
Is loft work in Melksham 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.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Melksham?
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 a landlord in Melksham book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
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.
