Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
Downlights made safe
Fire-rated covers or a clear zone around recessed lights.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.

Questions about old loft insulation removal in Shipley
Do you take on jobs outside Shipley?
Yes. We also work in Baildon and Bradford and elsewhere in West Yorkshire.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Shipley?
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.
How do I pay for work in Shipley?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
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.
