I got 3 quotes and Gap insulation was by far the best - cheapest price with quality product fitted. Richard from Gap Insulation arrived on time and worked very hard through out, no fuss, no mess and was incredibly polite through out considering how hard and dirty the work was. Couldn't ask for more. Thankyou RichardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Sue McFahnReally pleased with the work Richard carried out.

Richard gave a competitive quote, and we agreed a date for the work. Richard arrived on time and worked hard throughout the day to remove all the old roll and blown insulation - a very dirty and dusty job. The waste was bagged up and removed with the minimum of mess created in the house - dust sheets are essential on the route out of the house! I would recommend Richard for removal of old loft insulation.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Michelle BerryMany thanks to the team at Gap Insulation Services for removing my old loft insulation,laying the new and fitting loft boards.

Is Your home at risk of damp or mould problems in Northumberland?
It’s worth checking whether your home is at risk from poorly installed cavity wall insulation by using the checklist below. Damp and mould could occur in properties because of cavity-wall insulation if there is a combination of these factors:
- Your home is exposed to severe or very severe levels of wind-driven rain
- Your home is located in an unsheltered position, eg not protected by trees or other buildings
- The external walls are poorly built or maintained with, for example, cracks in the brickwork or rendering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cavity Wall Insulation Services in Northumberland
Is cavity wall insulation suitable for all properties?
How do I know I have a problem?
Why would you remove cavity wall insulation?
If your homes insulation has been poorly fitted, or is not suitable for your property, you may encounter problems with damp and mould, leading to possible damage to the external brickwork. Living in a cold, damp environment can also increase health problems such as: influenza, strokes, and heart disease.
How do you remove cavity wall insulation?
Will there be any insulation left on my property?
We advise that all ports from the outer brick to the inside wall be sealed. This includes boiler flues, air vents, gaps around the pipe work where they enter the property from the outside i.e waste pipes, water pipes, etc. We aim to cause minimal disruption but due to the power of the compressed air some of the insulation/dust debris may find its way into the property.
