Questions about an insulated loft hatch in Rayleigh
How do I pay for work in Rayleigh?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Do you charge extra to travel to Rayleigh?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Rayleigh. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Rayleigh?
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.
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.
