Questions about loft insulation in Bo'ness
Is loft work in Bo'ness 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.
Do you cover all of EH51?
Yes, we cover the EH51 postcode district and the districts around Bo'ness.
Will I get a written quote for work in Bo'ness?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
How deep should loft insulation be?
The Energy Saving Trust recommends at least 270 mm of mineral wool, and that is the depth we install as standard. Building regulations also set an energy standard for the roof when a loft is insulated. It differs between England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, so we confirm the target for your address on the quote.
Do I need to empty my loft first?
The floor needs to be clear for the insulation to go down. If moving things yourself is difficult, tell us at the survey and we can price clearing and putting items back on raised boarding.
