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 Ilford
Is loft work in Ilford 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 take on jobs outside Ilford?
Yes. We also work in Barking and Leytonstone and elsewhere in Greater London.
Will I get a written quote for work in Ilford?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
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.
