Depending on where you live, what your ceiling is constructed from and the pitch of your roof, some additional fees may apply. These are outlined below.
Travel
The Greater Launceston and Greater Hobart areas are exempt from travel fees. Areas outside of these zones attact a travel fee, which is based on a rate of $0.50 per km return from Launceston or Hobart, whichever is nearer.
Very low pitched or skillion roofs
Where roof spaces do not allow adequate "crawl space" access to substantial sections of the ceiling area due to low pitch of roof and/or large header boards (tall ceiling joists or bearers that prevent access to side parts of the roof in some instances), additional fees may apply. Usually these additional fees are approx $1 to $2 per SQM extra, unless the roof is entirely skillion, in which we reserve the right to do an onsite inspection and quote prior to install.
Difficult Ceiling Fee
For houses with the following ceiling constructions, an additional fee of $40 per ceiling protrusion apply due to the extra effort, tooling, care and clean-up that is required to put in inlets or outlets: lath and plaster ceilings, double ceilings (where a lower ceiling has been added below an original ceiling), timber ceilings or a combination of the above.
Difficult or impossible underfloor access
Sometimes it is not possible to access all of the underfloor area due to minimal crawl space and obstructions (pipes, etc...). You will only be charged for the amount that is installed.
Underfloor insulation
Price includes securing underfloor insulation to sub-floor area via very secure insulation staples, but does not include coverings, chicken wire etc... as they are not required to secure our insulation.
