I rent in Cowes. Can I have my loft insulated?
It’s your landlord’s decision, as they’re responsible for the building. Landlords can ask us for a quote.
Where will the insulation go?
On the loft floor, between the joists and in a layer across them, with the eaves left clear for air.
What will it cost in Cowes?
It depends on the size of the loft, what’s there now, the material and how easy the loft is to work in. We quote in writing, for free.

Yes, we work across England and Wales, including Newport, Lee-on-the-Solent, Ryde, Locks Heath and Gosport. See all the towns we list in Isle of Wight.
My loft is boarded straight onto the joists. Is that a problem?
It usually means the insulation underneath is squashed. We can lift the boards, insulate properly and refit them on a raised floor.
