Questions about room-in-roof insulation in Kendal
Do you charge extra to travel to Kendal?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Kendal. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Kendal?
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.
Is loft work in Kendal 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.
Will the room get smaller?
Slightly. Insulated plasterboard over the rafters takes a few centimetres off each slope.
Can it be done without removing the plasterboard?
Sometimes the flat ceiling and eaves voids can be reached from behind. The slopes almost always need the boards off to insulate them properly.
