Questions about blown loft insulation in Hitchin
What do I need to do before you arrive in Hitchin?

How do I pay for work in Hitchin?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Will I get a written quote for work in Hitchin?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Does blown insulation settle?
Mineral wool loose fill settles a little, which is allowed for in the depth we install. The depth markers let you check it later.
Is it messy?
The hose runs through the house, so we sheet the route and the landing. The fibre stays in the loft.
