Questions about an insulated loft hatch in Houghton-le-Spring

How do I pay for work in Houghton-le-Spring?

Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.

Do you take on jobs outside Houghton-le-Spring?

Yes. We also work in Washington and Sunderland and elsewhere in Tyne and Wear.

Is loft work in Houghton-le-Spring 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.

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.

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.
