Questions about sheep's wool or natural loft insulation in Ripley
Can you visit Ripley outside working hours?
Ask about early, late or weekend appointments when you get in touch, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you charge extra to travel to Ripley?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Ripley. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Can a landlord in Ripley book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
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.
