What that means for your loft
25% of households in Hertford live in a semi-detached house. A typical semi has a loft big enough for storage, a hatch on the landing and one party wall to insulate up to; we check all three.
30% of households in Hertford 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.
31% of households here live in flats. A flat usually only has a loft above it on the top floor, and work in a shared roof space needs the agreement of whoever manages the building, so mention this when you enquire.

Loft insulation in Hertford: questions
How common are flats in Hertford?
Very: 31% of households lived in flats at the 2021 Census, the largest group, ahead of terraced houses at 30%.
I rent my home in Hertford. 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 you work in Hertford?
Yes. We work across England and Wales, including Hertford and the area around it. Send your postcode and we’ll be in touch.
I live just outside Hertford. Can I still enquire?
Of course. Coverage isn’t limited to the town: enquiries come from right across England and Wales, including Ware, Hoddesdon, Welwyn Garden City, Cheshunt and Hatfield. See every town we list in Hertfordshire.
Why can’t I see prices on the website?
Because every loft is different. The area, what’s up there already, access and any extra work change the price, so we quote once we know about your home.
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.
