Questions to ask loft boarding companies
When you’re talking to local loft boarding companies near you, it helps to ask them certain questions to find out more about how they work. That way you know you’re hiring the right company for the job.
Do you have insurance?
When hiring loft insulation and boarding companies near you, you want to have peace of mind that they’re covered by insurance – should anything go wrong. That’s why we make it mandatory for all Checkatrade members to have up-to-date public liability insurance to be listed in our directory.
What’s your availability and when can you do the work?
To secure the best loft boarding companies near you, it pays to plan ahead as much as you can. The best local tradespeople often get booked up in advance, so the earlier you book them the better.
It’s also a good idea to ask them how long it will take them to carry out the work – especially if you have a large or complex loft space that you want to board.
How much do you charge?
It’s always important to find out how much loft boarding companies charge for their work so that you can compare them with other tradespeople in your area.
As part of the quoting process, make sure they detail exactly what is included in their charges – such as labour, materials and removal of waste.
Does your work come with a guarantee?
Many loft boarding companies will offer a satisfaction guarantee, and some might even provide a limited-time warranty for their work to ensure you’re completely happy with their work.
