Questions about sheep's wool or natural loft insulation in Cumbria
How do I book a survey in Cumbria?
Send the form or call us. We call back to agree a time and confirm it in writing.
Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?
Yes. We cover every town and village in Cumbria, including Carlisle, Barrow-in-Furness and Kendal.
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.
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.
