Questions about an insulated loft hatch in Downpatrick
Will I get a written quote for work in Downpatrick?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Is loft work in Downpatrick 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 take on jobs outside Downpatrick?
Yes. We also work in Newtownards and Holywood and elsewhere in County Down.
Can you make my loft hatch bigger?
Yes. We trim the joists, support them and fit a new insulated hatch. It is often done with a loft ladder.
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.
