Questions about loft insulation for a rented home in Ilkeston
What do I need to do before you arrive in Ilkeston?
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.
Do you cover all of DE7?
Yes, we cover the DE7 postcode district and the districts around Ilkeston.
Can a landlord in Ilkeston book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
Will loft insulation improve my EPC rating?
It usually adds points, and from no insulation it can be significant. Whether it moves a whole band depends on the rest of the property.
What EPC rating do rented homes need?
In England and Wales the current minimum is E, and the government has confirmed a move to C with a deadline of October 2030. Check the current rules on GOV.UK for your property.
