Questions about old loft insulation removal in Melksham
Do you cover all of SN12?
Yes, we cover the SN12 postcode district and the districts around Melksham.
Is loft work in Melksham 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.
Can a landlord in Melksham book work for a tenanted house?
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.
What happens to the old insulation?
It is bagged and taken away for disposal as part of the price.
