Loft insulation in Eastbourne’s homes
Only top-floor flats sit under a loft, and in most blocks the roof space belongs to the freeholder or is managed by a management company or housing association. If you live in one of the 39% of Eastbourne homes that are flats, check who is responsible for the roof space before arranging work.
About a quarter of homes in Eastbourne are terraced (23%). Small lofts mean smaller jobs, but storage often ends up on the insulation in a tight space, so many terrace jobs combine a top-up with a small area of raised boarding.
26% 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.

I live in a top-floor flat. Can I insulate the loft above me?
