What is sheep's wool or natural loft insulation?
Sheep's wool and wood fibre are vapour-open and can take up and release moisture. The trade-off is cost: natural materials usually cost two to three times as much as mineral wool for the same performance. More about sheep's wool or natural loft insulation.

Questions about sheep's wool or natural loft insulation in Swadlincote
Do you charge extra to travel to Swadlincote?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Swadlincote. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Swadlincote?
Clear a path to the hatch and, if you can, move stored items away from the area we will be working in. Tell us about anything heavy or fragile.
Can a landlord in Swadlincote 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 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.
