Questions about sheep's wool or natural loft insulation in County Down
Are your prices the same across County Down?
Yes. Our guide prices are the same everywhere we work, and they include normal travel. Your fixed price depends on your loft, not your postcode.
Which council covers my address in County Down?
Councils in County Down include Ards and North Down, Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon, Lisburn and Castlereagh and Newry, Mourne and Down. Your council matters for building control questions and some funding schemes.
How deep does natural insulation need to be?
It depends on the product's thermal conductivity. Some need slightly more depth than mineral wool to reach the same U-value, which we allow for on the quote.
Is sheep's wool insulation worth the extra cost?
In an older breathable house, or if you care about the material, often yes. In a modern semi with plasterboard ceilings the extra cost buys little performance.
