Tank and pipes protected
Every insulation job includes a tank jacket and pipe lagging, so nothing freezes in a colder loft.

Questions about sheep's wool or natural loft insulation in Barnstaple
How do I pay for work in Barnstaple?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Do you charge extra to travel to Barnstaple?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Barnstaple. 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 Barnstaple?
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.
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.
