Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Tavistock?
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.
Can a landlord in Tavistock 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 moths eat sheep's wool insulation?
