Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Shipley. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Can a landlord in Shipley book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
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 blown insulation better than rolls?
It performs about the same for the same depth. It is the faster and neater option in lofts that are awkward to work in, and rolls are better where you want boarding later.
