Blown-in loft insulation is a popular choice for many homeowners due to its excellent coverage and insulating properties. However, there comes a time when it may need to be removed, whether due to age, contamination, or the desire to upgrade to more efficient insulation.
At UK Loft Insulation Removal, we specialize in providing professional blown-in loft insulation removal services across the UK.
This article details our prices and costs, the types of blown-in insulation, the comprehensive services we offer, and why choosing a professional is crucial.
Types of Blown-In Insulation
Blown-in insulation comes in various forms, each with its own characteristics:
-
Cellulose Insulation:
- Made from recycled paper treated with fire retardants, cellulose is environmentally friendly but can settle over time, reducing its effectiveness.
-
Fibreglass Insulation:
- Composed of fine glass fibers, this type of insulation is non-combustible and resistant to moisture, but can be an irritant if disturbed.
-
Mineral Wool Insulation:
- Made from molten rock or industrial slag, mineral wool offers excellent thermal and acoustic insulation but can also be irritating to handle.

I highly recommend these guys who recently helped us clear and clean out our loft in Newcastle after we had rodents in. They removed old junk and the old insulation then cleaned up the rodent droppings and hoovered the loft out. They were very friendly, made sure no dust and dirt got into our home and cleaned up after themselves. We are elderly people so we couldn't do this but they did everything in half a day. We tried all over to get someone to do the works for us but these guys were the only ones to come out and give us a qoute. Would use again if we ever have another rodent problem.
