Questions about loft insulation in Abertillery
What are most homes in Abertillery like?
The most common are terraced houses (66% of households at the 2021 Census), followed by semi-detached houses at 17%.
Does sheep’s wool insulate as well as mineral wool?
About as well, depth for depth. People choose it because it’s pleasant to handle and copes well with damp.
I’m in a village outside Abertillery. Can I still ask?
Of course. Villages and nearby towns such as Ebbw Vale, Tredegar, Blackwood, Pontypool and Ystrad Mynach are all covered. See all the towns we list in Blaenau Gwent.
Is sheep’s wool a good idea in an older terrace?
It can be: it copes well with moisture, which suits older homes. Mineral wool also works in a well-ventilated loft, and costs less.
Is natural insulation more expensive?
Usually, yes. Sheep’s wool and recycled polyester cost more than mineral wool; we can quote for both.
Do you quote for landlords in Abertillery?
Yes, in the same way as for homeowners.
