Common loft jobs in Hastings
Around 39% of Hastings homes are flats or maisonettes. If your flat is on the top floor, the loft above is often shared with neighbours or belongs to the freeholder, so permission comes first.
22% of households in Hastings live in a terraced house. Terrace lofts are usually compact, which keeps the amount of material down, but the work is in getting good coverage up to the party walls and into the eaves without blocking ventilation.
Private renting is common here (29% of households). Tenants should raise insulation with their landlord, who is responsible for the building; landlords can request a quote through us like any homeowner.

Loft insulation in Hastings: questions
How common are flats in Hastings?
Very: 39% of households lived in flats at the 2021 Census, the largest group, ahead of terraced houses at 22%.
I live just outside Hastings. Can I still enquire?
Of course. Coverage isn’t limited to the town: enquiries come from right across England and Wales, including Bexhill-on-Sea, Hailsham, Eastbourne, Polegate and Seaford. See every town we list in East Sussex.
Who will carry out the work?
We will. We look at the loft, quote in writing and, if you go ahead, carry out the work on a date that suits you.
How do I know if my loft needs more insulation?
If the insulation is level with or below the top of the joists, it’s likely well short of the 270mm commonly recommended for mineral wool. We will check when we look.
Can landlords in Hastings get quotes?
Yes. 29% of households in Hastings 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.
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.
