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 Hemel Hempstead
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
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.
Downlights made safe
Fire-rated covers or a clear zone around recessed lights.
Honest about grants
If you might qualify for funding, we tell you before we quote.

Questions about sheep's wool or natural loft insulation in Hemel Hempstead
Do you cover all of HP2?
Yes, we cover the HP2 postcode district and the districts around Hemel Hempstead.
Is loft work in Hemel Hempstead 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 Hemel Hempstead?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
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.
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.
