Questions about sheep's wool or natural loft insulation in Tyne and Wear
Which council covers my address in Tyne and Wear?
Councils in Tyne and Wear include Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne, North Tyneside, South Tyneside and others. Your council matters for building control questions and some funding schemes.
Are your prices the same across Tyne and Wear?
Yes. Our guide prices are the same everywhere we work, and they include normal travel. Your fixed price depends on your loft, not your postcode.
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.
