Why remove old insulation?
Compliance with Standards: Removing non-compliant insulation is essential to meet AS:3999, the Australian standard for insulation installation, ensuring safety and efficiency where the existing insulation doesn’t and isn’t able comply with AS:3999.
Electrical Safety: Old insulation often needs removal for electrical compliance where existing cables aren’t suitable for being completely surrounded by loosefill or batt insulation.
Government Regulations: In certain areas, such as the ACT, government regulations mandate the removal of specific insulation types, like cellulose, before any upgrades.
Renovation Needs: During renovations, especially when ceilings are involved, removing old insulation is crucial for a clean, safe work environment, preventing debris and old material from hindering progress.
Health and Safety: Some older insulation materials, like those containing urea formaldehyde, can be harmful. Removing these materials protects your family’s health from carcinogenic substances.
Efficiency in Rewiring: For electrical rewiring projects, clear space is vital. Removing old insulation allows electricians to work more efficiently and safely, reducing the risk of accidents and additional costs.
Allergy and Asthma Relief: Over time, insulation can accumulate dust and allergens, affecting air quality. Removing and replacing old insulation can significantly improve indoor air quality, benefiting those with allergies or asthma.
Pest Control: Insulation can be damaged by pests like rats or carpet beetles, reducing its effectiveness. Removing compromised insulation is necessary before treating infestations and installing new, undamaged material.

Our Clients Love us
We could feel the difference in temperature the day after the ceiling insulation went in and it does such a good job keeping the house cooler on hot days. We look forward to the house being much easier to keep warm when winter rolls around too. The ducted AC unit that was recommended to us works really well, is very quiet and the controller is easy to use or can be controlled with an app.
Would definitely recommend Alexander Watson, they know their stuff.
Insulation is excellent but the service and staff are what you pay for, they're all super friendly and helpful.
Insulation went smoothly over 2 days, you get what you pay for, premium service and super nice staff.
4 months post install we had an issue with a leak from the condensation pipe of our aircon in the roof, hadn't turned it on since insulation was installed so wasn't aware.
Wally from AWI came out 2 days later and fixed it on the spot.
Always a warm reception when calling, after instal service is amazing. Can't recommend enough.
To be honest, the experience was not a great one.
First point to raise is the constant email replies from different admin stuff. After correspondence with one team member, the following reply would be from a different team member. I found this frustrating. And then that new team member has not read the previous email (this would also be in a working day time frame).
Now the point to raise is of quality of work, they had only cleaned approx 80% of the ceiling, they spent 2 days (a Thursday and Friday). I know this because I cleaned the remaining missed areas including removing old batts on my Saturday so I could lay the insulation properly myself. If I hadn’t of laid the insulation myself and Alexander Watson returned to re-install, then I feel the missed areas would still remain and they would just install over the top. Additionally approx 6 tiles were broken, and they were only siliconed back together.
Now after email correspondence, and I assume with the manager, being told as a customer I should of raised my concerns on the Saturday so this company can return to do a quality check, I feel this should of been done at the workers level before they would of left the job site, then possibly another senior team member should of visited the job site post completion to confirm the work is done. This process has failed from the lowest part of the team. I’ll attach photos to this review.
Now we have both come to an agreement to a reduction in the invoiced amount.
