Why book with us in Gillingham
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
Fixed written price
The price on the quote is the price you pay. It only changes if you change the job, or if we find something hidden, such as rot, and you agree the change in writing first.
Downlights made safe
Fire-rated covers or a clear zone around recessed lights.
Boarding done properly
Storage boards go on loft legs, never straight onto the insulation.
How much does old loft insulation removal cost in Gillingham?
Part of this work can be zero-rated as energy-saving materials until 31 March 2027, and part is standard-rated. If VAT applies, your quote shows which is which.
Building regulations in England

Questions about old loft insulation removal in Gillingham
What do I need to do before you arrive in Gillingham?
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.
Can a landlord in Gillingham book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
Will I get a written quote for work in Gillingham?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
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.

Most mineral wool does not. Loose, pebble-like vermiculite fill can, and needs testing before anyone disturbs it.
