Questions about old loft insulation removal in Oakham
Do you cover all of LE15?
Yes, we cover the LE15 postcode district and the districts around Oakham.
Do you take on jobs outside Oakham?
Yes. We also work in Uppingham and elsewhere in Rutland.
Is loft work in Oakham 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.
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 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.
