What does a roof insulation service include?
Roof insulation may seem like a simple process - measure, cut, and install. But effective insulation installation requires a professional to consider a number of issues, like the building frame, ventilation, air gaps, and vapour barriers. Your installers will then choose the best type of insulation for your climate and home and organise installation for you. Here are some common types of insulation service and what you can expect from each:
Bulk insulation
Bulk insulation is the most common type of insulation because of its availability and effectiveness. It works by trapping millions of air pockets that resist heat. This type of insulation can come in batts, boards, or loose-fill, and can be produced from a variety of materials. Your installer will climb into your roof cavity to access the ceiling and measure the required dimensions. Next, they’ll cut the material to the right size and install your insulation. They’ll be careful to avoid compressing the bulk insulation, as the compression can reduce air pockets and compromise the material’s insulation ability.
Batts insulation
Many consider batts insulation as the best format for bulk insulation. This type of insulation often comes in rolls and is easy to transport and carry. Ceiling batts insulation can be made from a range of materials, including natural wool, polyester, fibreglass, and rockwool. Your installer will help you choose the best option based on your budget, environmental concerns, the potential for fire hazards, and other factors. They’ll install your insulation batts, ensuring no gaps between insulation. When they’re finished, they’ll clean up the area and any tools used.
Board insulation
Board insulation has a high insulating value for a relatively small thickness. This type of insulation is useful in buildings where there is very little space between the ceiling and the roof. It’s most popular for commercial buildings. Board insulation usually comes in polystyrene or polyisocyanurate (PIR). Polyisocyanurate is a thermoset, rigid foam, typically with reflective foil laminate on one or both sides, and has excellent fire and moisture absorption properties. Polystyrene is generally used for buildings where thermal performance is required because of its exceptional compressive strength. Your installer will recommend the most suitable materials for your building.
Loose-fill insulation
Loose-fill can be used in ceilings, however, it can settle over time and lose effectiveness. Loose-fill is best used for adding insulation to the nooks and crannies around irregularly shaped areas and obstructions. The most common materials for this type of insulation include cellulose, fibreglass, and mineral wool (rock or slag). Your installer will recommend the best type of loose-fill depending on the weather conditions and temperature ranges in your home.
Reflective foil insulation
Reflective foil works by reducing the heat transfer across enclosed spaces. This material works most effectively when the shiny surface faces inwards towards an enclosed space - like in most roofs. Your installer may use reflective foil on its own or with bulk insulation for an effective ‘hybrid insulation’. The roof insulation installation process is similar to the ceiling insulation installation, however, the installer will use a staple gun to apply the material to the roof. The most commonly used materials for this type of insulation include wall wrap, aluminium foil adhered to paper or plastic substrate, concertina batts, foiled cardboard, and/or foiled bubble wrap.

Install underfloor insulation
$150
Ballarat VIC, Australia
20th Aug 2024
I am in the process of installing polyester underfloor insulation. At the rear of our property, there is a small underfloor area (3-4 square metres) where the floor clearance (distance from joist to ground) is too narrow for me to access (~20cm). The small area cannot be excavated as the ground is a hard pebble stone aggregate. This task is seeking someone to access the area to install the insulation in this particular, small area. You are preferably quite thin to access narrow spaces. You preferably have experience installing underfloor insulation. I can provide the tarp for sliding in the insulation, and the staple gun + staples for installing the insulation.

Underfloor insulation installation
$350
Blackwood VIC, Australia
2nd May 2023
We need to install polystyrene underfloor insulation in our house. It is a small house, only about 70 square metres. The insulation itself is very easy to install. I have done it many times before myself on other houses, but I just don't have the time at the moment. There is plenty of space underneath the house to walk around, so no squeezing in a tight crawl space. The job should take about a day. I might be available to lend a hand to get started. - Due date: Flexible
Simon was great to deal with. Good communicator, did the job well and quickly. Would gladly recommend.

Move insulation batts around in ceiling

Ballarat VIC, Australia

I need someone to bring a ladder and climb through man hole and in to roof cavity and move insulation batts around. This isnt a big job. I had a small electrical job done and a small number of the batts have been moved and need to be placed back in their proper positions. I am not nimble enough to fit between all the roof trusses so this job will require someone who is agile and confident to move through the roof cavity safely. - Due date: Flexible
Thanks James. Obliging and helpful. Would recommend.
