When a loft needs clearing
Lofts collect things. Some are yours: boxes, old furniture, Christmas decorations. Some are left behind by previous owners or builders: offcuts, rubble, old water tanks and rolls of insulation that never got laid. And some arrive on their own: dust, leaves, nesting material and droppings. A clearance is usually the first step before:
- new or replacement loft insulation, which needs a clear, clean floor to be laid properly
- raised loft boarding for storage
- dealing with pests, so you can see where they got in
- selling the house, or a survey or inspection
Droppings and nests
Where mice, rats, squirrels or birds have been living in the loft, the insulation is often soiled and the dust is worth not breathing in. Clearing it is a job for someone with the right protection and the means to bag and dispose of it properly. We can also seal the gaps they came in through: see loft pest-proofing.
What happens to the waste
Old insulation and debris need to go to the right place. We take it away for proper disposal, and how is set out in the quotation.
