Questions about sheep's wool or natural loft insulation in Chapeltown
What do I need to do before you arrive in Chapeltown?
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.
Do you cover all of S35?
Yes, we cover the S35 postcode district and the districts around Chapeltown.
Can a landlord in Chapeltown book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
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.
