Questions about pipe and tank lagging in Penicuik
What do I need to do before you arrive in Penicuik?
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 Penicuik?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Penicuik. 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 Penicuik?
Yes. We also work in Bonnyrigg and Edinburgh and elsewhere in Edinburgh and the Lothians.
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.
