Questions about an insulated loft hatch in Kirkwall
Can you take on work in Kirkwall?
Sometimes. Kirkwall 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.

Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
How do I pay for work in Kirkwall?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
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.
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.
