Islington’s housing at a glance
At the last census (2021), the London Borough of Islington was home to around 433,000 people across some 193,000 households. 84% of households live in a flat, maisonette or apartment and 16% in a whole house or bungalow. 28% of households own their home (12% outright, 17% with a mortgage or shared ownership), 31% rent privately and 40% rent from a council or housing association. About a quarter of homes (30%) have at least three bedrooms.
What that means for your loft
With 84% 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. For the 16% of households in houses, loft insulation works as it does anywhere else.
With 31% of households in private rented homes, tenants in Islington should talk to their landlord about insulation. Most improvements to the building are the landlord’s to arrange.

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.
How much does loft insulation cost in Islington?
It depends on the size of the loft, how much insulation is there now, whether old material needs removing and how easy the loft is to work in. We give you a written quotation after finding out about your home.
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.
