Common loft jobs in Hackney

Houses account for 19% of homes in Hackney and flats for 81%. House owners can get loft insulation quoted in the usual way. In a converted house or purpose-built block, the roof space is usually common parts, so the freeholder’s agreement is needed.

32% 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 Hackney: questions

How many homes in Hackney are flats?

At the 2021 Census, 81% of households in Hackney lived in a flat, maisonette or apartment and 19% in a house or bungalow.

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 live just outside Hackney. Can I still enquire?

Of course. Coverage isn’t limited to the town: enquiries come from right across England and Wales, including Islington, Tower Hamlets, Haringey, Waltham Forest and Camden.

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.

I rent my home in Hackney. Can I get loft insulation?

Talk to your landlord first, as changes to the building are their decision and normally their cost. Council and housing association tenants should contact their landlord’s repairs or maintenance team. Landlords can ask us for a quote just as homeowners do.

Do I need to empty my loft first?

Usually the floor of the loft needs to be clear so the whole area can be insulated. We will tell you what we need when you book.
