What types of insulation can be removed?
Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam insulation is a liquid foam that is sprayed onto a surface and expands on contact to create a foam layer. Spray foam insulation can be applied in wall cavities, lofts, roof membranes, exterior walls and to small gaps or cracks within a property.
How do you remove spray foam insulation?
- Closed-Cell Spray Foam
Closed-cell spray foam sets into a robust solid. Closed-cell spray foam can be removed using specialist tools and a dry ice blasting method. - Open-Cell Spray Foam
Open-cell spray foam isn’t as dense as closed-cell spray foam and can be removed by hand instead of using specialist tools.
Mineral Wool Insulation
Mineral wool insulation, also known as rock wool wall insulation and stone wool insulation is created using a range of raw materials. These raw materialsare melted at high temperatures before being spun to form fibres. This results in a wool-like material which serves as effective property insulation.
How do you remove mineral wool insulation?
We can easily detach the mineral wool insulation from the surface and dispose of it correctly.
Fibreglass Insulation
Fibreglass insulation is made of glass and sand. When sand is melted it can be passed through a narrow nozzle and solidifies to form a thin fibre. Fibreglass insulation is then formed by these fibres being compressed together which results in a dense, wool-like material.
How do you remove fibreglass insulation?
We can easily detach fibreglass insulation from the surface and dispose of it correctly.

Asbestos
Asbestos was widely used in many building materials until the 2000s when the dangers of the material were uncovered. When materials containing asbestos deteriorate, they release hazardous and toxic fibres into the atmosphere whichcan cause serious long-term health conditionsif inhaled.Asbestos removal differs from other types of insulation material due to its dangerous properties.
How do you remove asbestos?
Asbestos Encapsulation
If asbestos isn’t widespread throughout a property, we will use asbestos encapsulation. This involves a layer of sealant being applied to the surface of the contaminated area or using a supporting framework. This will stop fibres from becoming damaged, disturbed, or airborne.
Asbestos Abatement
If asbestos is found to be widespread on your property, we will use a process called asbestos abatement. Asbestos abatement is a more invasive measure and requires the property to be vacated so that areas can be sealed off. Then, contaminated areas will be demolished and disposed of.
How is asbestos disposed of?
We dispose of asbestos waste by placing it in sealed bags and into a sealed container. We will also safely remove the hazardous material from your site for you and arrange your asbestos disposal.
