Why book with us in the Scottish Borders
We measure before we quote
Existing depth, joist spacing, wiring and the tank are checked, not guessed.
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.
Photos of the finished loft
You see the work done without climbing the ladder.
Plain-English advice
We explain what we find in plain English, and say so when nothing needs doing.

Questions about pipe and tank lagging in the Scottish Borders
Can you quote for several properties in the Scottish Borders?
Yes. Landlords and agents can send a list of addresses and we will survey them in as few visits as we can.
Which council covers my address in the Scottish Borders?
Addresses in the Scottish Borders come under Scottish Borders council. The council matters for building control questions and some funding schemes.
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.
