Questions about an insulated loft hatch in Lochgilphead
Is loft work in Lochgilphead 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.
How do I pay for work in Lochgilphead?

Do you cover all of PA31?
Yes, we cover the PA31 postcode district and the districts around Lochgilphead.
Does an insulated loft hatch make much difference?
It closes one of the biggest single gaps in an insulated ceiling. It also cuts the warm, moist air that leaks into the loft and adds to condensation.
Do I need a fire-rated hatch?
In most houses, no. In some flats, three-storey houses and loft conversions the ceiling is part of the fire protection and a fire-rated hatch is needed. We check.
