Questions from homeowners in Buckhurst Hill
What kind of homes are there in Buckhurst Hill?
Mostly flats (35% of households in 2021), then semi-detached homes (32%).
Can you insulate the loft above my flat?
Usually only with the freeholder’s or managing agent’s agreement. Check your lease first.
Can I choose a natural material?
Yes, sheep’s wool or recycled polyester. They cost a little more than mineral wool.
Can I keep using my loft for storage?
Yes. A raised floor above the insulation keeps your storage and your warmth.

Of course. We cover Chigwell, Loughton, Waltham Forest, Redbridge and Waltham Abbey and the villages around them. See all our towns in Essex.
