Questions about sheep's wool or natural loft insulation in Swaffham
Is loft work in Swaffham 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.
Do you take on jobs outside Swaffham?
Yes. We also work in Dereham and King's Lynn and elsewhere in Norfolk.
Do you cover all of PE37?
Yes, we cover the PE37 postcode district and the districts around Swaffham.
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.
