Loft insulation in Tower Hamlets: questions
How many homes in Tower Hamlets are flats?
At the 2021 Census, 88% of households in Tower Hamlets lived in a flat, maisonette or apartment and 12% 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.
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.
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.
I rent my home in Tower Hamlets. 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.
