Questions about an insulated loft hatch in Whitley Bay
Do you charge extra to travel to Whitley Bay?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Whitley Bay. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Do you cover all of NE26?
Yes, we cover the NE26 postcode district and the districts around Whitley Bay.
Is loft work in Whitley Bay 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.
