Questions about old loft insulation removal in Cookstown
Is loft work in Cookstown 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.
Do you cover all of BT80?
Yes, we cover the BT80 postcode district and the districts around Cookstown.
Do you charge extra to travel to Cookstown?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Cookstown. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
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.
