Most residential properties can be completed within one to two days, depending on the size of the property, insulation type, and site conditions.

Disruption is minimal. Work is carried out externally, and all access points are repaired to blend with the existing brickwork, render, or wall finish.

Cavity wall insulation is removed by creating controlled access points to the external wall. Small access holes are drilled, and bricks are removed just above the damp proof course (DPC) level to allow full access to the cavity. Compressed air is blown through the cavity to loosen the insulation, which is extracted at exit points [...]

Most insulation types can be removed, including mineral wool fibre, polystyrene beads, bonded bead systems, and certain foam-based installations, subject to a site inspection.
