What is different when you are a landlord?
Rented homes in England and Wales must meet a minimum EPC rating to be let, and the government has confirmed it will rise to band C, with a deadline of October 2030. Loft insulation alone rarely moves a whole band, but it is one of the first measures an assessor looks for. More about loft insulation for a rented home.

Tidy work
Dust sheets on the route in and every bit of packaging taken away.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
