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 Kirkcaldy
What do I need to do before you arrive in Kirkcaldy?
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 Kirkcaldy?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Kirkcaldy. 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 Kirkcaldy?
Yes. We also work in Glenrothes and Leven and elsewhere in Fife.
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.
