Why book with us in Basildon
Boarding done properly
Storage boards go on loft legs, never straight onto the insulation.
Fixed written price
The price on the quote is the price you pay. It only changes if you change the job, or if we find something hidden, such as rot, and you agree the change in writing first.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
Tank and pipes protected
Every insulation job includes a tank jacket and pipe lagging, so nothing freezes in a colder loft.

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 Basildon?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Basildon. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Is loft work in Basildon 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.
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.

Insulation-grade sheep's wool is treated against insects. We use products sold for loft insulation, not raw fleece.
