Fixed written price
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.

Questions about pipe and tank lagging in Ashington
How soon can you visit a home in Ashington?
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.
Is loft work in Ashington 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.
Can a landlord in Ashington book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
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.
