Questions about an insulated loft hatch in Ilfracombe
Do you take on jobs outside Ilfracombe?
Yes. We also work in Barnstaple and Bideford and elsewhere in Devon.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Ilfracombe?
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.
Is loft work in Ilfracombe 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 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.
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.
