Why book with us in Penicuik
Boarding done properly

We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
Honest about grants
If you might qualify for funding, we tell you before we quote.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.

Questions about loft insulation for a rented home in Penicuik
How soon can you visit a home in Penicuik?
We call you back to agree a time that suits you, and confirm the date in writing. Availability changes week to week, so we will give you the earliest slot we have.
Can you visit Penicuik 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 Penicuik 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.
Can you work around tenants?
Yes. We arrange access directly with tenants if you want, and most lofts are done in a day.
Will loft insulation improve my EPC rating?
It usually adds points, and from no insulation it can be significant. Whether it moves a whole band depends on the rest of the property.
