Questions about old loft insulation removal in Dunstable
Do you take on jobs outside Dunstable?
Yes. We also work in Luton and Leighton Buzzard and elsewhere in Bedfordshire.
Do you charge extra to travel to Dunstable?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Dunstable. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Is loft work in Dunstable 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.
Could my old loft insulation contain asbestos?
Most mineral wool does not. Loose, pebble-like vermiculite fill can, and needs testing before anyone disturbs it.
When should old loft insulation be removed?
When it is wet, contaminated, smelly, badly compressed or hiding damage. Sound, dry insulation can usually stay and be topped up.
