Questions about pipe and tank lagging in Dorchester
Do you charge extra to travel to Dorchester?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Dorchester. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Do you take on jobs outside Dorchester?
Yes. We also work in Weymouth and Bridport and elsewhere in Dorset.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Dorchester?
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.
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.
