Questions about old loft insulation removal in Canvey Island
Do you take on jobs outside Canvey Island?
Yes. We also work in South Benfleet and Hadleigh and elsewhere in Essex.
Is loft work in Canvey Island 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 a landlord in Canvey Island book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
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.
