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 Oldham
We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
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.
Honest about grants
If you might qualify for funding, we tell you before we quote.
Tank and pipes protected
Every insulation job includes a tank jacket and pipe lagging, so nothing freezes in a colder loft.
How much does sheep's wool or natural loft insulation cost in Oldham?
Installing insulation in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027 and 5% after that, under HMRC's rules for energy-saving materials (notice 708/6).
Building regulations in England

Questions about sheep's wool or natural loft insulation in Oldham
What do I need to do before you arrive in Oldham?
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.
Can a landlord in Oldham book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
Do you charge extra to travel to Oldham?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Oldham. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
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.
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.
