Questions about sheep's wool or natural loft insulation in Rochdale
Do you cover all of OL16?
Yes, we cover the OL16 postcode district and the districts around Rochdale.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Rochdale?
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.
Will I get a written quote for work in Rochdale?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
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.
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.
