Loft insulation in Brent’s homes
With 57% of homes in the borough being flats, many residents don’t have a loft of their own: only top-floor flats sit under a roof space, and that space usually belongs to the freeholder or is managed for the whole building.

With 36% of households in private rented homes, tenants in Brent should talk to their landlord about insulation. Most improvements to the building are the landlord’s to arrange.

Loft insulation in Brent: questions
How many homes in Brent are flats?
At the 2021 Census, 57% of households in Brent lived in a flat, maisonette or apartment and 43% 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.
Will I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the loft hatch. We agree the details with you when you book.
Can landlords in Brent get quotes?
Yes. 36% of households in Brent rent privately, and landlords can request a quote in the same way as owner-occupiers. Tenants should raise insulation with their landlord rather than arranging work themselves.
What if there’s damp or mould in my loft?
Mention it when you enquire. Damp or mouldy insulation normally needs removing, and the cause (a leak or poor ventilation, for example) dealing with, before new insulation goes in.
