### Don't Wait Until Pipes Freeze
Ever had a burst pipe? It's **expensive, disruptive, and completely avoidable**. One night of hard frost and those exposed loft pipes can freeze solid - then when they thaw, you've got water pouring through your ceiling.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Most burst pipes happen when the weather warms up after a freeze, not during the cold itself. The ice melts, cracks appear, and suddenly you're dealing with a flood.

What to Expect
### Step 1: Check What's Needed I'll look at all your exposed pipework and work out what needs lagging. Sometimes there's bits already done, sometimes it's all bare. ### Step 2: Fit the Lagging Foam pipe insulation cut to length and fitted over each pipe. Joints and fittings get covered properly - that's where heat escapes fastest. ### Step 3: Sort Any Awkward Bits Odd-shaped sections, tight corners, pipe clusters - they all get lagged properly. No point leaving vulnerable spots exposed.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Winter prep?** Get this done in autumn before the cold hits. Frozen pipes always happen at the worst possible time - usually when you're away or it's a bank holiday. **Got a lot of pipes?** Bundle it with other loft jobs - boarding, insulation, light fitting. I'm already up there with the ladder out. **Old house with dodgy loft access?** No problem. I've been in Exeter attics that haven't been accessed in decades. That's where the worst unprotected pipes usually are.
Frequently Asked Questions about Pipe lagging in Honiton
Why do I need pipe lagging?
Two main reasons: stops your pipes freezing (and bursting) in winter, and keeps hot water hot for longer if it's travelling a distance from your boiler. In Honiton's older properties with exposed pipes in lofts or outbuildings, it's actually pretty important.
Can you do the pipes in my loft?
Yes - that's exactly where most people need it done. Loft spaces get freezing in winter, and those exposed pipes are vulnerable. I'll lag everything that needs protecting - hot, cold, and central heating pipes.
Do I need to provide the lagging material?
Either way works. I can bring everything needed, or if you've already bought specific insulation, I'll fit what you've got. Standard foam pipe lagging is usually fine for most jobs.
How long does it take?
Typical loft with exposed pipes is usually 1-1.5 hours. More if there's loads of pipework, less if it's just a few problem areas. I'll give you a time estimate when I see what you've got.
Will this definitely stop my pipes freezing?
Lagging massively reduces the risk - slows heat loss so pipes stay warmer for longer. In extreme cold snaps you might still need to leave heating on low, but properly lagged pipes are far less likely to freeze and burst.
