Questions about loft insulation for a rented home in Selkirk
Is loft work in Selkirk 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 charge extra to travel to Selkirk?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Selkirk. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Can a landlord in Selkirk book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
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.
