Background

Client: Mr. John Smith
Location: Newcastle, UK
Property Type: Detached House, 3 Bedrooms
Issue: Rodent infestation, vermin damage, and water-damaged insulation

Mr. John Smith contacted our loft insulation removal company after noticing an unpleasant odor and signs of damage in his loft. A thorough inspection revealed significant issues: rodent infestation, vermin damage, and insulation compromised by a water leak.

Initial Inspection

Our inspection team identified the following problems:

Rodent Infestation: Rodent droppings, nests, and chewed insulation materials were found throughout the loft.

Vermin Damage: Additional signs of insect infestations further degrading the insulation.

Water Damage: Leaks in the roof had caused sections of the insulation to become waterlogged and moldy.

Challenges

Health and Safety: Handling rodent droppings, mold, and contaminated insulation required strict safety measures.

Thorough Cleanup: Ensuring complete removal of contaminated materials and thorough disinfection.

Coordination with Roof Repair: Timing the insulation replacement with necessary roof repairs to prevent future water damage.

Process

Preparation:

Our team donned PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) including masks, gloves, and coveralls.
The loft area was isolated to prevent contamination of the living spaces.

Removal:

Carefully removed all existing insulation, bagging it securely for disposal. Paid special attention to heavily infested and water-damaged areas.

Cleaning and Disinfection:

Used HEPA filter vacuums to remove droppings, debris, and dust. Applied a disinfectant spray to kill bacteria, mold spores, and vermin residues.
