How much does sheep's wool or natural loft insulation cost in Carlisle?

Questions about sheep's wool or natural loft insulation in Carlisle
Do you cover all of CA3?
Yes, we cover the CA3 postcode district and the districts around Carlisle.
Can a landlord in Carlisle book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
Is loft work in Carlisle different from anywhere else?
The method is the same, but older terraces, cottages and newer estates each have their own quirks: lath ceilings, low pitches or trussed roofs. We plan for the loft we find.
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.
Do moths eat sheep's wool insulation?
Insulation-grade sheep's wool is treated against insects. We use products sold for loft insulation, not raw fleece.
