INSULATION REMOVAL SERVICE
The Benefits of Removing Old Insulation
Over time, insulation can degrade, absorb moisture, attract pests, or become contaminated with dust and allergens. Even small gaps can cause huge losses — just 5% missing coverage can reduce thermal efficiency by up to 50%.
Removing old or damaged insulation:
- Improves comfort & efficiency – Allows for a full-coverage upgrade with premium Earthwool R7, eliminating gaps and restoring maximum thermal performance.
- Boosts indoor air quality – Removes dust, allergens, and contaminants from your ceiling space.
- Protects your property – Gives a clear view to check for hidden issues like leaks, mould, or structural damage.
- Reduces energy bills – With new, properly installed insulation, your heating and cooling systems run more efficiently.
A clean ceiling space is the first step to a high-performance insulation system that lasts for decades.
