About this service
Removal is for insulation that’s damp, dirty, contaminated or flattened. We take it out carefully, clean the loft, check the timbers, and usually lay new insulation the same visit.
What’s included
- Old insulation bagged and taken away
- The loft floor vacuumed and cleaned
- Timbers checked once they’re visible
- New insulation laid, if you’d like it
- Dust kept to the loft, not your house
- A written quote first
We price the job after looking at your loft. You get a written quotation before any work is agreed.
When it needs to come out
Insulation that has got wet, gone mouldy, been used by mice or birds, or been squashed flat by years of boxes stops working properly. Laying fresh material on top of it isn’t a good idea. Taking it out gives you a clean start and a chance to see the timbers and ceiling boards underneath.
How we keep it tidy
We bag the old insulation in the loft and carry it straight out, protecting the hatch and landing as we go. Then the floor is vacuumed so the new insulation goes onto clean boards. It’s a dusty job up there, but it shouldn’t be in the rest of your house.
Then the new layer
Most people have new insulation laid straight after, while the loft is clear. It’s a good moment to consider sheep’s wool or recycled polyester if you like the idea of a natural or recycled material.
