Questions about pipe and tank lagging in Selkirk
Do you charge extra to travel to Selkirk?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Selkirk. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Will I get a written quote for work in Selkirk?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Can a landlord in Selkirk 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.
