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.

Questions about pipe and tank lagging in Kinross
Do you take on jobs outside Kinross?
Yes. We also work in Auchterarder and Perth and elsewhere in Perth and Kinross.
Do you charge extra to travel to Kinross?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Kinross. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Is loft work in Kinross 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.
