The Ins and Outs of Insulation Vacuuming.

-
roof space preparation and
-
the vacuuming process itself.
Regular roof cleaning, which includes roof cavity cleaning, is essential to maintaining the energy efficiency and safety of your home or commercial property.
Roof Space Preparation.
Before insulation vacuuming can begin, it’s crucial to prepare the roof space to ensure safety and efficiency.
This involves accessing the ceilings through roof tiles or via the steel tin roof and cleaning the area of any accumulated dust, animal droppings, leaves, and construction debris.
​
Not only does this help maintain the efficiency of your new insulation installed, but it also prevents potential health issues caused by allergens and other harmful substances.
​
The Power must be off for the duration of the works, and the team will be wearing all the correct PPE.
The Vacuuming Process.
Once the roof space is prepared, we can begin the insulation vacuuming process. This involves using high-powered, large capacity vacuum to extract old insulation. Our vacuum is mounted, powered by a diesel engine, and is used to remove debris and contaminants from the roof space, preparing it for new insulation.
​
The vacuuming process is vital for improving the energy efficiency of a property by replacing old insulation with new, more effective insulation, and reducing the risk of fire and other hazards.

other dangerous substances, including old insulation batts
Regular roof cavity cleaning is recommended to ensure that the insulation is working properly and that the air is breathing properly.
