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.

Why book with us in Leigh
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
Boarding done properly
Storage boards go on loft legs, never straight onto the insulation.
Tank and pipes protected
Every insulation job includes a tank jacket and pipe lagging, so nothing freezes in a colder loft.
Clear contact details
Your quote says who to call with questions before, during and after the work.

Questions about sheep's wool or natural loft insulation in Leigh
Is loft work in Leigh 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.
Will I get a written quote for work in Leigh?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Can a landlord in Leigh 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.
