ExcellentBased on 13 reviewsDave Manley10/07/2024Great job by Richard, would recommend.Martin Leach17/06/2024I got a couple of quotes for the removal of old loft insulation at our house. 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.Michelle Berry29/05/2024Many 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 Southern Scotland?
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.
This is a view from the outside of a house with damp cavity wall insulation. You can see that the insulation itself is soaking wet. This will cause damp and mould issues inside the walls and needs to be removed.
This is the inside of a property that had damp cavity wall insulation. As you can see over time, it has bridged through to the inner brick of the house and damaged all the plaster work. It had to be removed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cavity Wall Insulation Services in Southern Scotland
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.
