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.

When it is wet, contaminated, smelly, badly compressed or hiding damage. Sound, dry insulation can usually stay and be topped up.
