Why book with us in Hitchin
Tidy work
Dust sheets on the route in and every bit of packaging taken away.
Boarding done properly
Storage boards go on loft legs, never straight onto the insulation.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
Honest about grants
If you might qualify for funding, we tell you before we quote.

Building regulations in England
In England, a loft insulated across more than half its area should reach a U-value of 0.16 W/m²K. Insulation alone is not usually notified to building control. How the rules work across the UK.

Questions about loft insulation for a rented home in Hitchin
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.
Can you visit Hitchin 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.
Do you charge extra to travel to Hitchin?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Hitchin. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
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.
