What homes in Westminster are like
At the last census (2021), the London Borough of Westminster was home to around 408,000 people across some 190,000 households. Flats, maisonettes and apartments account for 90% of homes in the borough; houses and bungalows for 10%. About a quarter of households are owner-occupiers (28%); private renters make up 44% and social renters 28%. Around 28% of homes have three or more bedrooms.
What that means for your loft
With 90% 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 10% of households in houses, loft insulation works as it does anywhere else.
44% 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.
Getting a quote in Westminster
Coverage isn’t limited to Westminster: we also take enquiries from Kensington and Chelsea, Camden, Hammersmith and Fulham, Islington and Wandsworth and the villages in between.
It helps to know whether your loft has insulation already and how deep it is, whether it’s boarded, and how easy the hatch is to get through. You don’t need to check before you enquire; we will ask.

Loft insulation in Westminster: questions
How many homes in Westminster are flats?
At the 2021 Census, 90% of households in Westminster lived in a flat, maisonette or apartment and 10% in a house or bungalow.
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.
I rent my home in Westminster. 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.
Which areas near Westminster do you cover?
All of England and Wales. Close to Westminster, that includes Kensington and Chelsea, Camden, Hammersmith and Fulham, Islington and Wandsworth.
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.
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.
