Loft insulation in Leatherhead’s homes
Only top-floor flats sit under a loft, and in most blocks the roof space belongs to the freeholder or is managed by a management company or housing association. If you live in one of the 46% of Leatherhead homes that are flats, check who is responsible for the roof space before arranging work.
About one in eight of homes in Leatherhead are terraced (13%). Small lofts mean smaller jobs, but storage often ends up on the insulation in a tight space, so many terrace jobs combine a top-up with a small area of raised boarding.
Private renting is common here (23% 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.

What if there’s damp or mould in my loft?

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.
