Questions about old loft insulation removal in St Andrews
Is loft work in St Andrews 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.
How do I pay for work in St Andrews?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Do you take on jobs outside St Andrews?
Yes. We also work in Cupar and Leven and elsewhere in Fife.
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.
