Questions about sheep's wool or natural loft insulation in Prestwich
Do you charge extra to travel to Prestwich?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Prestwich. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Prestwich?
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.
Is loft work in Prestwich 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.
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.
