Questions about blown loft insulation in Selkirk
What do I need to do before you arrive in Selkirk?
Clear a path to the hatch and, if you can, move stored items away from the area we will be working in. Tell us about anything heavy or fragile.
Will I get a written quote for work in Selkirk?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
How do I pay for work in Selkirk?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
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.
