Questions about loft insulation for a rented home in Gainsborough
Is loft work in Gainsborough 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 Gainsborough?
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 DN21?
Yes, we cover the DN21 postcode district and the districts around Gainsborough.
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.
