What is a loft condensation investigation?
We inspect the loft in daylight and by torch, measure moisture in the timbers, check the underlay, ventilation, insulation and the routes that let warm air in from the house, and look at the roof from outside. You get written findings with photos and a plain list of what we recommend, which may include work we do not offer. More about a loft condensation investigation.

Questions about a loft condensation investigation in Stornoway
Can you take on work in Stornoway?
Sometimes. Stornoway 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.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Stornoway?
Clear a path to the hatch and, if you can, move stored items away from the area we will be working in. Tell us about anything heavy or fragile.
How do I pay for work in Stornoway?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Is the investigation fee taken off the work?
The investigation is priced on its own so the advice is not tied to selling work. You decide what to do afterwards.
Is condensation in my loft normal?
A little on the coldest nights can be normal, especially with old felt. Dripping, wet insulation or mould are signs to investigate.
