What is different when you are a landlord?
Scotland sets its own energy efficiency rules for private rented homes, and they have been changing, so check the current position on mygov.scot. Loft insulation alone rarely moves a whole EPC band, but it is one of the first measures an assessor looks for. More about loft insulation for a rented home.

Why book with us in the Highlands and Islands
Fixed written price
The price on the quote is the price you pay. It only changes if you change the job, or if we find something hidden, such as rot, and you agree the change in writing first.
Downlights made safe
Fire-rated covers or a clear zone around recessed lights.
Clear contact details
Your quote says who to call with questions before, during and after the work.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.

Questions about loft insulation for a rented home in the Highlands and Islands
Are your prices the same across the Highlands and Islands?
Mainland towns such as Inverness, Dingwall and Nairn are within our normal area. Island and remote addresses are surveyed by arrangement, and travel may be priced separately.
Which council covers my address in the Highlands and Islands?
Councils in the Highlands and Islands include Highland, Orkney Islands, Shetland Islands and Na h-Eileanan Siar. Your council matters for building control questions and some funding schemes.
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.
Can you work around tenants?
Yes. We arrange access directly with tenants if you want, and most lofts are done in a day.
