Loft insulation in Richmond upon Thames’s homes

With 40% of homes in the borough being flats, many residents don’t have a loft of their own: only top-floor flats sit under a roof space, and that space usually belongs to the freeholder or is managed for the whole building. For the 60% of households in houses, loft insulation works as it does anywhere else.

Private renting is common here (25% 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.

How to get a quote

We take enquiries from across Richmond upon Thames and the surrounding area, including Hounslow, Kingston upon Thames, West Molesey, Sunbury-on-Thames and Hammersmith and Fulham.

We will usually want to know the type of house, roughly when it was built, and whether there is any insulation in the loft already. Photos of the loft can help if it’s easy to take them.

Loft insulation in Richmond upon Thames: questions

How many homes in Richmond upon Thames are flats?

At the 2021 Census, 40% of households in Richmond upon Thames lived in a flat, maisonette or apartment and 60% in a house or bungalow.

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.

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.

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.

Can landlords in Richmond upon Thames get quotes?

Yes. 25% of households in Richmond 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.

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

Of course. Coverage isn’t limited to the town: enquiries come from right across England and Wales, including Hounslow, Kingston upon Thames, West Molesey, Sunbury-on-Thames and Hammersmith and Fulham.
