Cavity Wall Insulation Extraction

[chrisardern]

Im a if the house has cavity walls they are their for a reason The amount of houses that have the air ventilation bricks filled with silicon and then suffer with damp is quite astonishing.

Great job. Thank you for the time and effort you took to make this video and share it with us. Greetings from Croatia.

Bet insulation removal costs a lot more than putting it in.

what a con, I bet most of the companies who are removing it were putting it on 15 years ago. Both at the cost to the tax payer. It's as big a con as the rising damp industry

Can you show me extraction of foam insulation? Bet you can't, impossible to remove all of that!

Nice video mate. I can see from some comments you have some keyboard warriors that don't have jobs.

What is the number one type of cavity insulation that you are asked to remove please?

Can you remove pu foam that was injected to cavities?

I'm building my house with cavity walls made of CMU as the interior masonry wythe and bricks as the exterior masonry wythe, and I'm considering doing a hybrid insulation with 4in of open cell foam on the interior face of the exterior masonry wythe (for its air barrier / thermal + acoustic properties) and 4in of Rockwool on the exterior face of the interior masonry wythe (mainly for its acoustic properties). In 20 or 25 years' time will I be able to remove the foam without damaging the mineral wool? Or will I need to remove both? At that point in time how exactly will I install the new hybrid insulation? If that proves impossible I will consider using only open cell foam...

How much does this all cost on average?

Wait hang on, you have a problem due to filling the cavity with insulation, so you remove it, only to refill it again - crazy.

Nice work, if you have a nice brick house that does feel warm all the year round, just need heating on sometimes during winter season, is it worth having it done with that render over brick work and insulation inside as you are doing it? It looks a nice finish. Reason I'm asking; a company here in UK already have done insulation under my lovely wooden floor. But, they said as you do. You will not see the difference when done. But they have spoiled my floor. They used the wrong nails on my floorboards. The other part of the contract is rendering outside and putting insulation, you have done a great job but I'm not sure I should go ahead after them spoiling my floor. They sent an expert floor fitter. afterwards to inspect the work. He agreed they have done poor workmanship. But said it would not be possible to match the floor boards with replacement wood. Also it would cause further damage removing the nails. He said his preference is oak rather than pine. But, they didn't agree to do anything about it. There are gaps, holes, and big nail heads showing. I took before and after pictures. It's spoiled my living room.
