Loft insulation in Kensington and Chelsea: questions

How many homes in Kensington and Chelsea are flats?

At the 2021 Census, 83% of households in Kensington and Chelsea lived in a flat, maisonette or apartment and 17% in a house or bungalow.

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.

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 rent my home in Kensington and Chelsea. 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.

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.
