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 Plymouth
Do you charge extra to travel to Plymouth?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Plymouth. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Do you cover all of PL1?
Yes, we cover the PL1 postcode district and the districts around Plymouth.
Can a landlord in Plymouth book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
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.
