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 Wickford
Will I get a written quote for work in Wickford?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Is loft work in Wickford 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.
Do you cover all of SS12?
Yes, we cover the SS12 postcode district and the districts around Wickford.
Do moths eat sheep's wool insulation?
Insulation-grade sheep's wool is treated against insects. We use products sold for loft insulation, not raw fleece.
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.
