Questions about pipe and tank lagging in Holywood
What do I need to do before you arrive in Holywood?
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.
Do you charge extra to travel to Holywood?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Holywood. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
How soon can you visit a home in Holywood?
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 pipe lagging included with loft insulation?
Yes. A tank jacket and pipe lagging in the loft are included in every loft insulation and top-up price. If you only need lagging, it is priced on its own.
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.
