Why Loft Insulation Replacement Is Needed After An Infestation
Many common pests, including rats, mice, squirrels, wasps and more, like to build nests in high areas, such as loft spaces. When they do, they can cause contamination and health risks, as their droppings can contaminate loft insulation and other items.
Thankfully, Essex Pest Proof is here to help with more than just pest control. Once we’ve removed the vermin from your loft space, we can carry out a full loft clearance and replace your loft insulation.

Get Top-Quality Insulation Replacement From Essex Pest Proof
Replacing loft insulation might seem like an easy task, but it requires extensive skills and expertise, especially following a pest infestation. It’s crucial that you safely remove and dispose of the existing insulation, and that high-quality proper loft insulation is used in its place.
Using poor-quality loft insulation or fitting it incorrectly can result in higher energy bills, as heat rises and leaves through your attic, and potential health issues for you and your family. Old loft insulation may trap bacteria and droppings from pests, which can cause serious health issues.
Whether you’ve had a pest infestation or not, Essex Pest Proof offers a full range of loft insulation services including removal, replacement and full cleaning if required. If you’re looking to cut heating bills and remove all traces of potential contamination from a previous pest problem, contact us to start the process.

Loft Insulation Replacement FAQs
What Is The Best Loft Insulation Material?
There are many types of insulation material available, but some of the best for thermal efficiency and coverage are mineral wool (glass/rock) and fibreglass. Essex Pest Proof can remove loft insulation of all types, including mineral wool, cellulose, fibreglass and loose-fill insulation, which we bag and dispose of according to relevant waste removal legislation. Our team can then suggest the best loft insulation replacement option for your property.
How Often Does Loft Insulation Need To Be Replaced?
High quality insulation can last for 40 years or longer, but this depends on a range of factors, including the loft insulation material chosen, the state of your property and if any pest infestations occur that could contaminate your loft insulation. Essex Pest Proof will install high quality insulation and carry out pest control to give you the best chance of long lasting loft insulation when you get your loft insulation replaced by our expert team.
Is It OK To Put New Insulation On Top Of Old Insulation?
When replacing loft insulation, you should never put new insulation over the top of the old insulation, as this can trap mould, moisture and bacteria. Removing insulation before you replace it will ensure the new loft insulation is able to function optimally and reduce heat loss effectively.
Is It Worth Replacing Old Loft Insulation?
It is important to replace loft insulation if you have a pest infestation in your loft space, or if you notice extensive heat loss through your attic. If you need loft insulation removal and replacement in Essex, then Essex Pest Proof is here to help.
