Why book with us in Ormskirk
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.
Clear contact details
Your quote says who to call with questions before, during and after the work.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
Honest about grants
If you might qualify for funding, we tell you before we quote.
How much does sheep's wool or natural loft insulation cost in Ormskirk?

Questions about sheep's wool or natural loft insulation in Ormskirk
Do you take on jobs outside Ormskirk?
Yes. We also work in Skelmersdale and Leyland and elsewhere in Lancashire.
Do you charge extra to travel to Ormskirk?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Ormskirk. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Is loft work in Ormskirk 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.
