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 Chelmsford
Do you take on jobs outside Chelmsford?
Yes. We also work in Billericay and Witham and elsewhere in Essex.
Do you charge extra to travel to Chelmsford?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Chelmsford. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
What do I need to do before you arrive in Chelmsford?
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.
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.
