Questions about loft insulation for a rented home in Thurso
Can you take on work in Thurso?
Sometimes. Thurso is outside our normal travelling area, so we look at each job first. If we can help, any travel cost is shown on the quote before you book, and nothing is booked until you agree it.
Will I get a written quote for work in Thurso?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Can a landlord in Thurso book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
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.
