Questions about pipe and tank lagging in Newcastle upon Tyne
Is loft work in Newcastle upon Tyne 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.
Do you cover all of NE1?
Yes, we cover the NE1 postcode district and the districts around Newcastle upon Tyne.
Do you take on jobs outside Newcastle upon Tyne?
Yes. We also work in Gosforth and Whickham and elsewhere in Tyne and Wear.
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.
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.
