Installation time varies by project. Attic insulation typically takes 1-2 days, cavity wall insulation can be completed in a single day, while dry lining may take 3-5 days depending on the area covered.

For attic insulation, we ask that the attic is accessible and any stored items are moved. For cavity wall, we need access to external walls. We'll provide a detailed checklist before installation day.

When installed correctly by certified professionals, insulation does not cause damp. Our surveyors assess ventilation and moisture levels before work begins, ensuring proper installation that protects your home.

The best insulation depends on your home's construction, age, and current energy performance. Our free survey assesses all factors and recommends the most cost-effective solution for your specific situation.

We pride ourselves on minimal disruption. Our teams work efficiently, protect your home with dust sheets, and clean up thoroughly after completion. Most jobs don't require you to vacate your home.
