Insulation Fitzroy North

Ceilings in Melbourne typically use R4.0 to R6.0 batts. Higher R-values provide better thermal resistance but may not fit all roof spaces. We’ll recommend the best option for your home during the inspection.

Yes. We can top up existing batts if they’re in good condition or remove and replace them if they’re compressed, damaged or ineffective. Old batts that may contain asbestos are left untouched until assessed by a qualified professional.

Most roof space jobs take a day, depending on access and the size of your home. Underfloor insulation may take longer if access is limited. We’ll give you a clear timeframe after assessing your property.

Absolutely. Older homes on stumps lose a lot of heat through the floor. Underfloor insulation reduces draughts, improves comfort and can lower heating costs significantly.

Cost depends on the area to be insulated, the type of insulation chosen, access difficulty and whether old insulation needs removal. Roof pitch, floor area and existing materials all play a part.

Yes, we remove old or damaged insulation as part of an upgrade. If we suspect asbestos, work stops until a qualified assessor confirms it’s safe to proceed.
