Is this for you?
Loft insulation removal is for you if the insulation in your loft is old, damaged, damp, contaminated, or simply in the way of a planned loft conversion or re-insulation. It is a different job from general loft clearance — the focus is on removing the insulation material safely and disposing of it correctly, not clearing stored items.
Common reasons people need it
- The insulation is old and no longer performing — compressed, patchy, or degraded.
- It has been damaged by water, damp, or rodent activity.
- You are converting the loft and need a clean, clear space to work in.
- You are replacing it with a modern, higher-performance insulation system.
- You have bought a property and the previous owner's insulation is unknown or suspect.
- You need to inspect the roof structure, wiring, or pipework underneath it.
What it is not
- Not a general loft clearance — if you also need boxes and stored items removed, see our Garage, Loft & Garden clearance service.
- Not a re-insulation service — we remove and dispose, we do not install new insulation.
- Not an asbestos removal service — see the note below.

LOFT INSULATION REMOVAL IN OKEHAMPTON
We remove loft insulation from domestic properties across Okehampton and the surrounding area. This includes mineral wool (fibreglass), rock wool, and other common blanket-style insulation materials. We work carefully in confined loft spaces, contain the material as it comes out, and take it away for responsible disposal.
Why remove old insulation? Old insulation loses performance as it compresses and degrades. Damp or contaminated insulation is worse than no insulation — it can hold moisture against timbers, harbour pests, and create unhealthy air in the loft. Removing it properly is the first step in any loft conversion, re-insulation, or structural inspection.
WHAT WE REMOVE
- Mineral wool / fibreglass insulation — rolls and batts
- Rock wool insulation
- Sheep's wool and natural fibre insulation
- Old, compressed, or patchy insulation
- Damp or water-damaged insulation
- Rodent-damaged insulation
- Loft insulation left behind by a previous owner
Please note: We do not remove vermiculite, spray foam, or any insulation suspected of containing asbestos. Those materials require specialist handling. If you are unsure what type you have, describe it to us and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.
HOW IT WORKS
- 1 Free quote. Tell us the approximate loft size and what type of insulation you have. We can usually quote from a photo and a description.
- 2 Access check. We confirm hatch size, ladder access, lighting, and headroom before booking. Narrow hatches and awkward lofts are normal for us.
- 3 Removal. We bag and remove the insulation, working methodically and containing the material to keep dust down in the rest of the house.
- 4 Disposal and tidy-up. The insulation is taken away for responsible disposal. The loft is left clear and ready for your next step.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much does loft insulation removal cost in Okehampton?
Typically £300–£900 depending on the size of the loft, the type of insulation, and how easy it is to access. We quote per job, not per hour. Contact us for a free fixed-price quote.
Do you remove old mineral wool insulation?
Yes. Mineral wool (fibreglass) is the most common insulation type we remove. It is usually straightforward and can often be done in a few hours.
Can you remove insulation before a loft conversion?
Yes. Removing old insulation is a normal first step before a loft conversion or re-insulation. We leave the loft clear so your builder or insulation installer can start with a clean space.
What happens to the removed insulation?
It is bagged on site, removed in our van, and taken to a licensed waste facility. Where material can be recycled, it is. Only what cannot be recycled goes to landfill.
Do you handle contaminated or rodent-damaged insulation?
Yes, in most cases. If the contamination is severe or the material is suspected of containing asbestos, we will advise you to use a specialist and will not take the job on ourselves.
Do you remove vermiculite or spray foam insulation?
No. Vermiculite and spray foam require specialist handling and are outside the scope of our service. We will tell you honestly if your insulation is not something we can remove.
How quickly can you remove loft insulation in Okehampton?
Usually within 24–48 hours. Urgent or same-day work is sometimes possible — call us to check.
