Questions about pipe and tank lagging in Consett
Do you cover all of DH8?
Yes, we cover the DH8 postcode district and the districts around Consett.
Will I get a written quote for work in Consett?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Can you visit Consett outside working hours?
Ask about early, late or weekend appointments when you get in touch, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
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.
