Questions about pipe and tank lagging in Antrim
How soon can you visit a home in Antrim?
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.
Will I get a written quote for work in Antrim?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Do you charge extra to travel to Antrim?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Antrim. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
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.
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.
