Questions about pipe and tank lagging in Lerwick
Can you take on work in Lerwick?
Sometimes. Lerwick is outside our normal travelling area, so we look at each job first. If we can help, any travel cost is shown on the quote before you book, and nothing is booked until you agree it.
Will I get a written quote for work in Lerwick?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
How do I pay for work in Lerwick?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
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.
