Replacing Old or Faulty Insulation with Our Cavity Wall Extraction

Before installing new cavity wall insulation, all existing insulation and debris are thoroughly cleared and inspected to ensure the cavity is completely clean. Only after this process can the cavity be refilled with new insulation.

Why Replace Existing Insulation?

Older insulation like Urea Formaldehyde, Mineral Wool, and Glass Fibre break down over time or absorb moisture which loses their effectiveness.
Brick and mortar are porous which allows moisture to penetrate the insulation. When damp, insulation becomes a heat inhibitor rather than an insulator.
Damp insulation can cause dark spots, crumbling plaster, and fungal decay, which leads to potential structural damage if not addressed.
Improperly installed insulation can create voids which causes cold spots and reduces overall insulation effectiveness.
