Questions about pipe and tank lagging in Ashton-in-Makerfield
Do you charge extra to travel to Ashton-in-Makerfield?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Ashton-in-Makerfield. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
How do I pay for work in Ashton-in-Makerfield?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Can you visit Ashton-in-Makerfield outside working hours?
Ask about early, late or weekend appointments when you get in touch, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
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.
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.
