Why Should You Remove Ceiling Insulation? Canberra ACT

INSULATION REMOVAL

Safely remove old insulation with minimal fuss.

SAFE, FAST AND CLEAN…

Whether it’s required for electrical compliance, you are considering renovations or rewiring, need to clean out the roof for health or pest infestation reasons or are simply looking to create a blank slate for your new insulation, our insulation removal service provides a fast and clean way to safely remove old insulation from your roof space.

TOP UP INSULATION

Bring your existing insulation up to modern standards.

ADD TO YOUR EXISTING INSULATION

If we are not removing old insulation and able to ensure electrical compliance, ceiling insulation can be simply topped up. With Earthwool Batts that can be laid over existing batts or Jet Stream MAX blown in over the top, either solution will bring your existing insulation up to modern standards by building on the current coverage that you have.

CROSS HATCHED INSULATION

The better way to insulate your roof.

ELIMINATE THERMAL BRIDGING…

Crosshatching two layers of insulation results in a substantial improvement in insulation efficiency. Compared to a single layer of batts of the same total thickness, crosshatched insulation can have double the thermal performance for the same product cost. It really is the ultimate way to achieve premium system performance in an uninsulated ceiling.

BLOW IN SOLUTIONS

Get your ceiling snug and sound with the ultimate ceiling insulation.

PREMIUM CEILING INSULATION

Jet Stream Max is super high performance, non-combustible glasswool designed to be blown into ceiling cavities to create a thermal acoustic barrier. The product completely fills gaps, voids and hard to reach areas around pipes, electrical wires and fixtures. Jet Stream MAX is only available to approved installers to ensure highest quality and installed performance.

Professional from beginning to end. We had ceiling insulation installed and the team were communicative, punctual and the house is noticeably warmer. Would strongly recommend.

Andy, Kaila and Ian were all more than happy to help and provide advice. Kaila organised Andy to visit my home and assess our needs, this happened very quickly and a quote was provided the same day. Delivery of the product was arranged and Ian arrived when stated, was polite and helpful in placing the materials where we requested. Overall 5 star service from all staff that I dealt with, would highly recommend this company.

We had ceiling and wall insulation installed, as well as a draughts-stopper over the bathroom fan.Because of the nature of the job, I had some requests that would not come up very often and were not that easy to work around. I found not only did Alexander Watson take careful note of my needs, it was also very flexible as the date of parts of the installation had to be changed (they depended on other jobs having been done).I would think that builders would find their competent staff and flexibility a huge benefit, as they would deal with a lot more moving parts some of which may be delayed than we did on our more simple insulation upgrade albeit a bit different from the norm.

The Watson team did an incredible job in spray foaming the shipping container, which is our temporary home. They went the famous “extra mile” to get the job done under difficult circumstances. Thanks heaps, for that! I can really recommend Watson and will use them again for my next insulation project.

Huge thanks to the team at Alexander Watson for insulating our ceiling (vacuum and re-lay) and for carrying out additional electrical work. Especially, thanks to Ash for answering our countless questions, to Jack and the install team for a fantastic job, and to Chris and Wally for all their help post-install. The service and communication of the whole team was excellent and we're really impressed with the difference their work has made to the comfort of our house. I would not hesitate to engage Alexander Watson again - happy to highly recommend this company.

Excellent service from beginning to end. Workers appeared on time and conducted their jobs in a timely manner. Work was finished within 3 weeks of the quote. Everything was carefully explained so there were no nasty surprises. Highly recommend this company for underfloor insulation. We are already starting to see a difference, with the house experiencing only a 2-degree Celsius change throughout the day.
