What that means for your loft

With 27% of households in private rented homes, tenants in Lewisham should talk to their landlord about insulation. Most improvements to the building are the landlord’s to arrange.

Loft insulation in Lewisham: questions
How many homes in Lewisham are flats?
At the 2021 Census, 58% of households in Lewisham lived in a flat, maisonette or apartment and 42% in a house or bungalow.
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.
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.
Can landlords in Lewisham get quotes?
Yes. 27% of households in Lewisham 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.
Do you cover the villages around Lewisham?
Yes. We take enquiries from anywhere in England and Wales, so villages and smaller places around Lewisham are covered too, as are nearby towns such as Southwark, Greenwich, Lambeth, Tower Hamlets and Newham.
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.
