Questions about sheep's wool or natural loft insulation in Ashton-in-Makerfield
Do you take on jobs outside Ashton-in-Makerfield?
Yes. We also work in Wigan and Leigh and elsewhere in Greater Manchester.
Will I get a written quote for work in Ashton-in-Makerfield?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
How soon can you visit a home in Ashton-in-Makerfield?
We call you back to agree a time that suits you, and confirm the date in writing. Availability changes week to week, so we will give you the earliest slot we have.
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.
