Ineffective cavity wall insulation needs to be removed and replaced. Contact us for our cavity wall extraction service across England.
Cavity wall extraction involves removing insulation material from the cavities within your external walls. This process is essential when the existing insulation has degraded, become damp, or is no longer effective.
Successful cavity wall extraction demands expert knowledge and specialised equipment.
Professionals trained in this service can effectively identify and address insulation problems, ensuring the integrity and efficiency of your home’s insulation system. Whether for maintenance, repairs, or upgrading to a more efficient insulation solution, cavity wall extraction is a crucial service for maintaining a comfortable and energy-efficient home.
Old or poorly installed insulation can trap moisture within your walls, leading to dampness and mould growth. Removing the compromised insulation helps maintain a dry and healthy living environment, preventing structural damage and health issues.
Over time, insulation can settle or degrade, reducing its effectiveness. Extracting and replacing old insulation enhances your home's thermal efficiency, resulting in lower energy bills and a more comfortable indoor climate.
Retained moisture within cavity walls can weaken the structural integrity of your home. By removing ineffective insulation, you prevent potential damage to the walls and foundation, ensuring the longevity and stability of your property.
Advances in insulation technology mean newer materials offer better performance. Investing in cavity wall extraction allows you to upgrade to modern, more efficient insulation, improving your home's overall energy performance and value.
Complete the entire project in approximately two days for an average 3-bedroom detached property.
Insert a compressed air line into the cavity wall.
Attach a flexible suction vacuum by removing a single brick below the air line to collect the fallen insulation.
Use the air line to push compressed air into the wall, breaking up the insulation and directing it towards the suction nozzle.
Safely extract the damaged insulation material from the cavity.
Remove the vacuum and air line & restore any holes and gaps in the wall.

While it is technically possible to remove cavity wall insulation yourself, it is highly recommended to hire professionals due to the specialised equipment and expertise required for safe and effective removal.
A cavity wall should ideally be insulated with EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) beads. EPS beads provide excellent thermal performance, are resistant to moisture, and offer long-term durability. However, there are other insulation materials that can be used for cavity wall insulation.
Yes, there may be grants available for cavity wall insulation removal, especially if the existing insulation is causing issues such as dampness. Contact us directly and we can provide all funding and costing information for you.
The entire process typically takes around two days for an average 3-bedroom detached property, though this can vary depending on the specific circumstances.
Removing old or damaged insulation can prevent issues like dampness and mould, improve energy efficiency, and protect the structural integrity of your home.
When performed by professionals, cavity wall extraction is done carefully to minimise any damage. Any necessary holes or gaps created during the process are restored afterwards.
Signs that your insulation may need removal include damp patches on walls, mould growth, increased energy bills, or noticeable drafts.
After removal, the cavities can be refilled with modern, efficient insulation materials such as EPS beads, ensuring improved thermal performance and comfort in your home.
