Questions about room-in-roof insulation in Swadlincote
Can you visit Swadlincote outside working hours?
Ask about early, late or weekend appointments when you get in touch, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is loft work in Swadlincote 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.
How do I pay for work in Swadlincote?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
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.
