Insulation in Skye for Year-Round Comfort

Ceilings in Melbourne typically use R4.0 to R6.0 bulk insulation. Higher R-values provide better thermal resistance but may not be necessary for all homes. We assess your roof space and recommend the right rating for your needs.

Yes. We fit batts between the bearers and joists under the floor. Access is required, and we ensure the material is secured to prevent sagging or gaps.

Most ceiling jobs are completed in a day, depending on roof space size and access. We remove old batts if needed, install new material and clean up before leaving.

Wall insulation helps stabilise indoor temperatures and reduce energy costs. It’s particularly useful for weatherboard or brick veneer homes exposed to Melbourne’s temperature swings.

Factors include the area to be insulated, chosen R-value, access difficulty, and whether old insulation needs removal. Steep roof pitches or limited crawl space can increase time on site.

If existing batts are compressed, damp or damaged, removal is recommended. We stop work if we suspect asbestos and advise a qualified assessor to inspect it first.
