Lofts in Chigwell
With 25% of households in semis, a common job here is topping up insulation that was laid years ago and adding storage that doesn’t squash it.
About one in eight of homes here are terraced (14%). In a smaller loft, storage tends to end up sitting on the insulation, so a modest raised floor is often worth adding.
Flats and maisonettes account for 26% of homes here. If yours is on the top floor, the loft above is often shared, and the freeholder or managing agent will need to agree to any work.

Can I insulate the loft above my top-floor flat?
Usually only with the freeholder’s or managing agent’s agreement. Check your lease, then let us know when you get in touch.

Of course. Villages and nearby towns such as Buckhurst Hill, Redbridge, Loughton, Waltham Forest and Barking and Dagenham are all covered. See all the towns we list in Essex.
How can I tell if mine is too thin?
If you can see the tops of the joists, it probably is.
Can I keep my loft storage?
Yes. A floor raised on legs above the insulation keeps the storage without squashing the insulation.
Do I need to clear the loft first?
The floor needs to be clear. If that’s a big job, tell us and we can include it.
