Insulation Solutions in 4 Easy Steps

The Right Ceiling Insulation

Getting the right amount of ceiling insulation can sometimes be as easy as topping up the existing insulation with another layer. Other times it may be best to remove whats there and start with a clean slate. Rest assured, whether you need a simple top up or a complete overhaul, we’ve got the tools and the team to get the job done.

The Right Wall Insulation

Insulating your existing walls is a simple process with our certified blow in insulation systems. In most cases, the installation is so non intrusive you would struggle to know we have even been there. With tried and tested solutions for double brick, brick veneer and clad walls, there’s no excuse for going another year without the right insulation.

The Right Floor Insulation

Unlike batts that sag over time, spray foam sticks and stays. Our fire rated spray foam solutions seal out draughts and provide unbeatable R value. In addition to thermal performance, spray foam also improves indoor air quality by locking out sub floor dust and irritants, prevents rodents from nesting and eliminates squeaky floor boards.

The Right Electrical Safety

Installing insulation can have some serious implications for your home’s electrical safety. Whether it is making recessed lights safe to bury with insulation, installing the right circuit protection for the cable insulation environment or avoiding nuisance tripping, our in house team of electricians are on hand to guarantee your electrical compliance.

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.
