What that means for your loft
Houses account for 47% of homes in Newham and flats for 53%. House owners can get loft insulation quoted in the usual way. In a converted house or purpose-built block, the roof space is usually common parts, so the freeholder’s agreement is needed.
Private renting is common here (39% 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 Newham: questions
How many homes in Newham are flats?
At the 2021 Census, 53% of households in Newham lived in a flat, maisonette or apartment and 47% in a house or bungalow.
Who will carry out the work?
We will. We look at the loft, quote in writing and, if you go ahead, carry out the work on a date that suits you.
Can landlords in Newham get quotes?
Yes. 39% of households in Newham 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.
Do you cover the villages around Newham?
Yes. We take enquiries from anywhere in England and Wales, so villages and smaller places around Newham are covered too, as are nearby towns such as Tower Hamlets, Greenwich, Barking and Dagenham, Redbridge and Hackney.
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.
