What is pipe and tank lagging?
We fit a jacket to the top and sides of each tank and foam lagging to every exposed pipe, taped at the joints and bends. The ceiling under the tank is left uninsulated so warmth from below can reach it. More about pipe and tank lagging.

Questions about pipe and tank lagging in Cambridge
Do you charge extra to travel to Cambridge?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Cambridge. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Cambridge?
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.
Will I get a written quote for work in Cambridge?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Do I need a lid on my cold water tank?
Yes. A close-fitting lid keeps debris and insects out and is part of the water regulations for cold water storage.
Should I insulate under the water tank in the loft?
No. Leave the ceiling directly under the tank uninsulated so a little warmth from the house reaches it. Insulate the top and sides instead.
