Can you visit Girvan outside working hours?
Ask about early, late or weekend appointments when you get in touch, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is loft work in Girvan different from anywhere else?
The method is the same, but older terraces, cottages and newer estates each have their own quirks: lath ceilings, low pitches or trussed roofs. We plan for the loft we find.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Girvan?
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.
What energy rules apply to rented homes in Scotland?
Scotland sets its own rules for private rented homes, and they have been changing. Check the current position on mygov.scot or with Home Energy Scotland for your property.
Can you work around tenants?
Yes. We arrange access directly with tenants if you want, and most lofts are done in a day.
