Questions about sheep's wool or natural loft insulation in Stornoway

Can you take on work in Stornoway?

Sometimes. Stornoway is outside our normal travelling area, so we look at each job first. If we can help, any travel cost is shown on the quote before you book, and nothing is booked until you agree it.

How do I pay for work in Stornoway?

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.
