Questions about a loft insulation top-up in Ware
Do you cover all of SG12?
Yes, we cover the SG12 postcode district and the districts around Ware.
Can a landlord in Ware book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
Do you charge extra to travel to Ware?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Ware. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Which way should the top-up layer run?
Across the joists, at right angles to the first layer. That covers the tops of the joists, which otherwise let heat escape along the timber.
Can I still store things in the loft after a top-up?
Not directly on the insulation. A 270 mm layer stands well above the joists, so storage needs raised boarding on loft legs.
