Questions about sheep's wool or natural loft insulation in Derbyshire
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
Yes. We cover every town and village in Derbyshire, including Derby, Chesterfield and Long Eaton.
Are your prices the same across Derbyshire?
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.
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.
