Questions about old loft insulation removal in Downpatrick
Do you take on jobs outside Downpatrick?
Yes. We also work in Newtownards and Holywood and elsewhere in County Down.
Is loft work in Downpatrick 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 visit Downpatrick outside working hours?
Ask about early, late or weekend appointments when you get in touch, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
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.
What happens to the old insulation?
It is bagged and taken away for disposal as part of the price.
