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 Derbyshire
Which council covers my address in Derbyshire?
Councils in Derbyshire include Derby and Derbyshire. Your council matters for building control questions and some funding schemes.
How do I book a survey in Derbyshire?
Send the form or call us. We call back to agree a time and confirm it in writing.
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.
