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.

Tidy work
Dust sheets on the route in and every bit of packaging taken away.
Plain-English advice

Questions about pipe and tank lagging in Ryde
Will I get a written quote for work in Ryde?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Is loft work in Ryde 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.
How do I pay for work in Ryde?
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.
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.
