Questions about old loft insulation removal in Harpenden
What do I need to do before you arrive in Harpenden?
Clear a path to the hatch and, if you can, move stored items away from the area we will be working in. Tell us about anything heavy or fragile.
Is loft work in Harpenden 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 charge extra to travel to Harpenden?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Harpenden. 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.
What happens to the old insulation?
It is bagged and taken away for disposal as part of the price.
