Questions about room-in-roof insulation in Penicuik
Will I get a written quote for work in Penicuik?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Can you visit Penicuik 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 Penicuik 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.
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.
How long does room-in-roof insulation take?
Usually three to six working days for one room, depending on how much is stripped and how it is finished.
