Questions about pipe and tank lagging in Irlam
Can you visit Irlam 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.
Do you cover all of M44?
Yes, we cover the M44 postcode district and the districts around Irlam.
Do you charge extra to travel to Irlam?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Irlam. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
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.
