Do you remove asbestos insulation?
Asbestos insulation requires specialist licensed removal. If asbestos is suspected in your insulation, we can arrange professional testing and connect you with licensed asbestos removal contractors in Melbourne who meet all WorkSafe Victoria requirements.
When should insulation be removed?
Insulation should be removed if it's water-damaged, mould-affected, contaminated by pests, severely compressed, or over 15-20 years old and degraded. It's also necessary before major renovations or when upgrading to higher R-value insulation for better energy efficiency.
