Questions about pipe and tank lagging in Waltham Abbey
Is loft work in Waltham Abbey different from anywhere else?
The method is the same, but older terraces, cottages and newer estates each have their own quirks: lath ceilings, low pitches or trussed roofs. We plan for the loft we find.
Do you charge extra to travel to Waltham Abbey?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Waltham Abbey. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
How soon can you visit a home in Waltham Abbey?
We call you back to agree a time that suits you, and confirm the date in writing. Availability changes week to week, so we will give you the earliest slot we have.
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.
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.
