Loft insulation in Barnet’s homes
Flats make up 47% of homes in Barnet. If yours is a top-floor flat, the roof space above is normally shared or owned by the freeholder, so you’ll need their agreement before any work. Houses (52% of homes) can be insulated in the usual way.
33% of homes here are let privately. Landlords are responsible for the building, and a well-insulated loft is one of the more straightforward improvements to a rented home’s energy rating.

Loft insulation in Barnet: questions
How many homes in Barnet are flats?
At the 2021 Census, 47% of households in Barnet lived in a flat, maisonette or apartment and 52% in a house or bungalow.
I live in a top-floor flat. Can I insulate the loft above me?
Usually only with the agreement of whoever owns or manages the roof space, often the freeholder or a management company. Check that first, then mention it when you enquire.
How long does the work take?
A typical loft is usually done within a day once booked. Removing old insulation first, fitting boarding or awkward access can add time; we will tell you when we quote.
I rent my home in Barnet. Can I get loft insulation?
Talk to your landlord first, as changes to the building are their decision and normally their cost. Landlords can ask us for a quote just as homeowners do.
How deep should loft insulation be?
For mineral wool, 270mm is the depth commonly recommended in UK lofts. Other materials reach a similar level at different thicknesses.
Do you cover the villages around Barnet?
Yes. We take enquiries from anywhere in England and Wales, so villages and smaller places around Barnet are covered too, as are nearby towns such as Borehamwood, Brent, Haringey, Camden and Harrow.
