The price on the quote is the price you pay. It only changes if you change the job, or if we find something hidden, such as rot, and you agree the change in writing first.

We explain what we find in plain English, and say so when nothing needs doing.

Questions about pipe and tank lagging in Wellingborough
How soon can you visit a home in Wellingborough?
We call you back to agree a time that suits you, and confirm the date in writing. Availability changes week to week, so we will give you the earliest slot we have.
Do you charge extra to travel to Wellingborough?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Wellingborough. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Is loft work in Wellingborough 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.
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.
