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