Questions about loft insulation for a rented home in Sandown
Do you charge extra to travel to Sandown?
Sandown is reached by ferry, so travel is priced separately and shown on the quote before you book.
Is loft work in Sandown 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.
Do you cover all of PO36?
Yes, we cover the PO36 postcode district and the districts around Sandown.
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.
Can you work around tenants?
Yes. We arrange access directly with tenants if you want, and most lofts are done in a day.
