Questions about loft insulation for a rented home in Orpington
Do you take on jobs outside Orpington?
Yes. We also work in Sidcup and Bromley and elsewhere in Greater London.
Is loft work in Orpington 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.
Will I get a written quote for work in Orpington?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
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.
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.
