What is sheep's wool or natural loft insulation?
Sheep's wool and wood fibre are vapour-open and can take up and release moisture. The trade-off is cost: natural materials usually cost two to three times as much as mineral wool for the same performance. More about sheep's wool or natural loft insulation.

Why book with us in Gorseinon
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.
Eaves kept clear
Insulation is held back from the eaves so the loft can still ventilate.
Tidy work
Dust sheets on the route in and every bit of packaging taken away.
We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.

Questions about sheep's wool or natural loft insulation in Gorseinon
How soon can you visit a home in Gorseinon?
We call you back to agree a time that suits you, and confirm the date in writing. Availability changes week to week, so we will give you the earliest slot we have.
Is loft work in Gorseinon 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 Gorseinon?
Yes. We also work in Swansea and Clydach and elsewhere in West Glamorgan.
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.
