Questions about rafter insulation in Horwich
Do you charge extra to travel to Horwich?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Horwich. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
How do I pay for work in Horwich?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Do you cover all of BL6?
Yes, we cover the BL6 postcode district and the districts around Horwich.
Will it cause condensation?
It can if the build-up is wrong for the roof. Old bitumen felt needs a ventilation gap behind the insulation; a modern breathable membrane may not. We check before we design it.
Can I use the loft as a bedroom after rafter insulation?
Insulation alone does not make a loft habitable. Fire escape, stairs, floor strength and headroom all come into a conversion, which needs building control.
