What that means for your loft

Flats make up 38% of homes in Kingston upon Thames. If yours is a top-floor flat, the roof space above is normally shared or owned by the freeholder, so you’ll need their agreement before any work. Houses (62% of homes) can be insulated in the usual way.

Private renting is common here (27% 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 Kingston upon Thames: questions

How many homes in Kingston upon Thames are flats?

At the 2021 Census, 38% of households in Kingston upon Thames lived in a flat, maisonette or apartment and 62% in a house or bungalow.

Will I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the loft hatch. We agree the details with you when you book.

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 live just outside Kingston upon Thames. Can I still enquire?

Of course. Coverage isn’t limited to the town: enquiries come from right across England and Wales, including Worcester Park and Stoneleigh, West Molesey, Ewell, Epsom and Richmond upon Thames.

Can landlords in Kingston upon Thames get quotes?

Yes. 27% of households in Kingston upon Thames 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.

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.
