Cavity Wall Insulation Removal

Efficient and safe removal of failed/wet cavity wall insulation. Minimal disruption, maximize results.

It is estimated that over 6 million properties around the UK have had cavity wall insulation installed. And of course the energy efficiency and cost saving make it very popular. However, we live on an island with a generally damp climate often exposed to high winds and even icy conditions. This takes its toll on brick work which can lead to gaps opening up in bricks or pointing and water getting into the cavity itself. The whole point of insulation is to insulate. It stops air flow. The problem with this is that once it becomes wet, it is virtually impossible to dry out. Instead dampness and cold is drawn through cavity into the inside of the property. You can see this if there are cold spots on walls in your home or unexplained patches of damp. Not only can this create uncomfortable living conditions, but the prolonged damp will also rust wall ties, an integral structural part of the property which can eventually mean the inner and outer walls can actually separate. Damp insulation cannot be ignored. If you suspect your home might be affected, we recommend calling us out as soon as possible

Loft Insulation Clearance

Clearance of damaged loft insulation and reinsulated to improved energy efficiency. Quick and efficient service.

Loft insulation that has been installed properly, should last for over 40 years. But that is not always the case. There are numerous reasons why your loft insulation may not be performing as it should, including: The material has become damaged over time. Loft insulation that was laid many years ago does need replacing, especially if long-lasting materials were not used initially. Materials naturally degrade, but by replacing them you can start to reap the benefits again. It does pay for itself over time. Insulation wasn’t installed correctly initially. Badly fitting or loose insulation means that heat is still allowed to escape through your roof. While it can help reduce bills, you’re not fully benefiting from the investment that you’ve made. Damage has led to the material absorbing water. Wet insulation can lead to damp spreading throughout the house, and can cause other problems within property. The insulation has become damaged during repair work. Work taking place in your loft can mean that the insulation becomes damaged if it isn’t removed first, meaning it’ll deteriorate and allow heat to escape quicker. This can also occur when you lay new insulation over the top of old material, hiding existing damage. Alternatively, you might just need your loft insulation to be removed for a short-space of time, allowing for work to be carried out within your loft space. If that’s the case, we can still help you and re-install the insulation once the work has been completed. Our professional, experienced team will offer you a complete service. Our goal is to make your loft insulation removal as hassle free as possible for you. From clearing your loft to allow work to begin right through to laying new, high quality insulation, we can tailor our service to match your needs.

Thermabead Cavity Wall Insulation

Reduces heat loss rates by around 70%

- Cost effective – Average unsubsidised payback is under 4 years

- Installed in a couple of hours with minimal disruption

- Lasts as long as the building

Cavity wall insulation fills the air space between the interior and exterior walls of a property to help reduce the amount of energy passing through the wall. It regulates the temperature in a property, meaning homes will be warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
The ThermaBead system is a grey bonded-bead system that is pressure blown into the cavity by a specially designed injection gun. The material acts like a tea cosy, trapping the heat and keeping dwellings cosy and warm. The special material settles into the cavity leaving very little space between beads, which, coupled with a unique manufacturing method, means an optimum level of heat is being bounced back into the property.
ThermaBead utilises a specially manufactured grade of closed cell polystyrene beads, in the size range of 2mm – 9mm in diameter. The target mean density of the beads is in the range of 12 +/- 2 kgm3. The ThermaBead bonding agent is a water-based dispersion of acrylic co-polymer emulsion, white in appearance and is non-hazardous.
The beads have been thoroughly tested and will not deteriorate over time; they will also not be unduly affected by any improvement works such as fitting new double glazing. Fully fire resistant and with full BBA approval for use in even the most extreme of conditions, ThermaBead fully satisfies the latest exacting standards for energy efficiency.re info

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the process of removing cavity wall insulation?

CLC Solutions has developed a methodology to remove failed Cavity Wall Insulation material from external cavity walls of dwellings or building of similar occupancy. Our system will remove any ‘blown-in’ material or problem cavity debris and create a clear cavity that can be re-insulated or insulated if the system has been used to remove debris only.

Compressed air is blown into the cavity through a series of 16mm drill holes, drilled through the mortor joints, while our bespoke vacuum machine collects the failed/wet insulation from the bottom of the wall through strategically removed bricks.

A boroscope is used to inspect the cavity throughout the process to ensure all damaged insulation has been completely removed.

The old insulation is then bagged up and removed, while all the bricks are refitted.

CLC Solutions LTD, have designed the bespoke extraction unit with over 14 months research and development. Powered by a Honda GX200 motor, the unit can extract wet Fibre, Bonded (including over-bonded) Beads, Foam including debris and rubble.

How long does the loft insulation clearance process take?

The loft insulation clearance process varies depending on the size of the space and amount of insulation to be removed. Our team works efficiently to complete the job.
