Cavity Wall Insulation Removal

Cavity wall insulation is supposed to sit dry in the gap between your outer and inner walls and keep the heat in. When it was badly installed, or has got wet over the years, it can slump and bridge that gap, and then the wall starts doing the opposite of its job: damp patches and cold spots appear on inside walls that were fine for decades. We take the failed material out, across Lincolnshire, so the cavity can work again.

How cavity insulation goes wrong

The cavity is there to stop moisture crossing from the outside skin of the wall to the inside one. Fill that has slumped, compacted or soaked up water forms a bridge across the gap, and rain landing on the outside wall can then track straight through to the plaster. The usual signs are damp patches that keep returning after redecorating, cold spots on particular walls, and mould in corners that never used to see it.

What taking the insulation out involves

The failed fill is extracted from the wall: we drill out and remove the material so the cavity is left genuinely clear, rather than treating the stains on the plaster and leaving the cause sitting in the wall. What comes out and what the cavity looks like are photographed as the work goes on, and once the gap is clear the wall can begin to dry out properly.

What happens when you get in touch

1. Call 01406 704369 or use the form, and we ring you back to arrange a visit.
2. We look at the walls inside and out, photograph what we find and show you, so the problem is something you can see rather than something you are asked to imagine.
3. We tell you plainly what is going on, and what removing the fill will and will not solve, with no pressure and no upselling.
4. The price comes in writing and does not move: the figure quoted is the figure you pay.
5. The completed work is put in writing too, with photographs of what was found, so you have a proper record of what was done and why.
