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 Winchester
We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
Plain-English advice
We explain what we find in plain English, and say so when nothing needs doing.
Tank and pipes protected
Every insulation job includes a tank jacket and pipe lagging, so nothing freezes in a colder loft.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
How much does sheep's wool or natural loft insulation cost in Winchester?
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).

Questions about sheep's wool or natural loft insulation in Winchester
How do I pay for work in Winchester?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Can a landlord in Winchester book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Winchester?
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.
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.
