Loft insulation in Southampton’s homes
Around 43% of Southampton homes are flats or maisonettes. If your flat is on the top floor, the loft above is often shared with neighbours or belongs to the freeholder, so permission comes first.
Terraced houses make up 19% of homes here. Their lofts tend to be smaller and are often reached through a narrow hatch on the landing, so access is one of the first things we look at. The insulation needs to meet the party walls on each side with no gaps.
29% of homes here are let privately. Landlords are responsible for the building, and a well-insulated loft is one of the more straightforward improvements to a rented home’s energy rating.

Loft insulation in Southampton: questions
What kind of homes are there in Southampton?
At the 2021 Census, 43% of households in Southampton lived in flats, 25% in semi-detached houses, 19% in terraced houses and 13% in detached houses.
I rent my home in Southampton. Can I get loft insulation?
Talk to your landlord first, as changes to the building are their decision and normally their cost. Council and housing association tenants should contact their landlord’s repairs or maintenance team. Landlords can ask us for a quote just as homeowners do.
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.
Which areas near Southampton do you cover?
All of England and Wales. Close to Southampton, that includes West End, Hedge End, Eastleigh, Hythe and Dibden Purlieu and Chandler's Ford.
Do I need to empty my loft first?
Usually the floor of the loft needs to be clear so the whole area can be insulated. We will tell you what we need when you book.
How long does the work take?
A typical loft is usually done within a day once booked. Removing old insulation first, fitting boarding or awkward access can add time; we will tell you when we quote.
