Is chewed cable really a risk?

Yes. Exposed conductors under insulation are one of the more common causes of loft fires. We replace the damaged run, not tape over it.

Does the insulation all need to go?

Only what has been soiled or flattened. Clean areas stay and are topped up.

Will my insurance cover this?

Some policies cover vermin damage. We provide photographs and an itemised quote to support a claim.

Do you charge for a survey?

Surveys are free. We measure headroom, joists, insulation depth and wiring, then send an itemised quote within two working days. A WhatsApp video through the hatch often gets you a guide price first.

Can you board over my existing insulation?

Yes, on a raised system. The boards sit on legs above the insulation, so it stays at full depth and keeps working.

Do I need a separate electrician for loft lighting?

No. We are NICEIC registered. Loft lighting and sockets are fitted, tested and certified by us.

How long does a loft job take?

A ladder, hatch and walkway is usually one day. Full boarding with insulation and lighting is one to two days.

Which areas do you cover?

Brighton, Hove and Sussex within 25 miles of Brighton. If you are outside that, ask. We often say yes.

Yes. £2m public liability insurance. We can send the certificate before we start.

Pests, clearance and asbestos

Pest Damage Repair

Once the pests are gone, what they left behind still needs dealing with. Chewed cable insulation is a fire risk. Soiled loft insulation is a health risk and does not insulate. We strip out what is ruined, replace it, and check every cable and pipe they had access to.
