Altona Meadows Insulation Specialists

Ceilings in Melbourne typically use R4.0 to R6.0 batts. Higher R-values provide better thermal resistance but may not be necessary for all homes. We assess your roof space, existing insulation and climate exposure to recommend the best option.

Yes, most ceiling insulation is installed from the roof space without touching the ceiling. We access the area through the manhole and work between rafters and joists. If your roof space is inaccessible, we’ll discuss alternatives like wall insulation.

A standard underfloor job in Altona Meadows takes 3 to 6 hours, depending on the size of the area and access. We work efficiently to minimise disruption, and you can use the home as normal once we’re done.

If your existing insulation is compressed, damp or dusty, it’s no longer effective. We remove old batts and replace them with new material to restore performance. If we suspect asbestos, work stops until a qualified assessor inspects it.

Yes, brick veneer homes often lack wall insulation, leading to heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. Injecting or installing batts into wall cavities improves comfort and reduces energy costs. It also helps with noise from outside.

Cost depends on the size of your home, the type of insulation, R-value chosen, and whether removal of old material is needed. Roof pitch, access difficulty and the need for additional services like gap sealing also play a role. We provide a detailed quote after inspecting your property.
