Questions about room-in-roof insulation in Hitchin
How do I pay for work in Hitchin?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Do you charge extra to travel to Hitchin?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Hitchin. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Can a landlord in Hitchin book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
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.
Will the room get smaller?
Slightly. Insulated plasterboard over the rafters takes a few centimetres off each slope.
