Frequently Asked
We specialise in cavity wall insulation installation and extraction, loft insulation, spray foam insulation removal, and a full range of roofing works including repairs, re-roofs, and new roofs. Our services are designed to improve energy efficiency, protect structural integrity, and resolve insulation-related issues.
Do you install new insulation after extraction?
Cavity wall insulation may need to be extracted if it has become damp, poorly installed, contaminated, or is causing issues such as mould, condensation, or cold spots. Properties exposed to driving rain or with older insulation materials are particularly at risk. We carry out professional assessments to determine whether removal is necessary.
Yes. Once the cavity has been fully cleaned, dried, and assessed, we can install a suitable, modern cavity wall insulation system where appropriate. We only recommend reinstallation when the property is suitable and the correct insulation type can be used safely.
Yes. Incorrect, damaged, or poorly installed insulation can restrict airflow and trap moisture, leading to condensation, mould growth, and damp problems. This is why we always assess ventilation and install insulation systems that work with the property, not against it.
Yes. We carry out professional inspections and assessments to determine the condition of insulation, roof structures, and related elements. This allows us to provide honest advice and recommend the most appropriate solution.
Yes. All work is carried out to current standards, and guarantees are provided where applicable depending on the service and materials used. Full details are discussed prior to installation.
Timescales depend on the service and size of the property. Many insulation and remedial works can be completed within one to three days, while roofing projects may take longer. We always provide clear timescales before work begins.
Proper loft insulation helps reduce heat loss, lowers energy bills, improves comfort, and supports better temperature control throughout the home. When installed correctly with adequate ventilation, it can also help reduce condensation and moisture-related issues.
We provide a full range of roofing works including roof repairs, re-roofs, new roof installations, flat roofing, leadwork, chimney repairs, and fascias, soffits, and guttering. All roofing work is completed to a high professional standard.
Spray foam insulation can trap moisture against roof timbers, restrict ventilation, and prevent proper inspection of the roof structure. Many mortgage lenders and surveyors now flag spray foam as a risk, often requiring full removal before a property can be sold or remortgaged.
In many cases, yes. Removing spray foam and exposing roof timbers can help address lender and surveyor concerns. While final decisions rest with the lender, our removal process is designed to support inspection and compliance requirements.
