Insulation Devon Meadows

Ceiling insulation with an R4.0 to R6.0 rating is ideal for most homes, as it addresses the biggest area of heat loss and gain. Underfloor insulation (R1.5 to R2.5) is recommended for older homes on stumps, while wall insulation (R2.0 to R2.7) suits brick veneer or weatherboard properties.

A standard ceiling insulation job in an average-sized home takes 3 to 5 hours. Underfloor insulation may take a full day, depending on access and the size of the area. Wall insulation varies but is typically completed within a day for most homes.

Yes. For ceiling insulation, we work in the roof space, laying batts between joists without touching the ceiling itself. For wall insulation, we can use blow-in methods or install batts through small access points in the wall cavities.

Cost depends on the size of your home, the type of insulation, R-value, and access difficulty. Roof pitch, existing insulation that needs removal, and the need for additional services like gap sealing or ceiling dust removal also influence the price.

Absolutely. Older homes often lack proper insulation, leading to high energy bills and poor comfort. Installing ceiling, underfloor and wall insulation can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs while improving thermal performance year-round.

Clear the roof space of stored items and ensure safe access to the manhole. For underfloor work, remove any obstacles under the house. Turn off downlights if they’re in the roof space, and let us know about any asbestos concerns so we can stop work and arrange an assessment.
