CAVITY WALL INSULATION REMOVAL
Extract North East Ltd specialises in cavity wall insulation removal. Located in Seaham, we primarily work throughout the North East and West Coast, although we can cover all areas of the UK.
Putting a stop to damp problems caused by failed wall insulation
There are a multitude of problems associated with damaged, failed, aged or poorly installed cavity wall insulation. These problems include damp walls and the growth of mould - neither of which equals healthy or pleasant living conditions for the occupants of the building.
Using the latest extraction machinery, we will cost-effectively remove the insulation, carrying out all remedial repair works required.

ButtonCommon insulation problems
- Wet insulation
Caused by water penetration resulting from wind-driven rain, damaged mortar and render, water tracking and floor damage. - Deterioration
Urea formaldehyde foam can degrade over the years, whereas fibre can slump over a long period of time. - Wrongly installed insulation
Buyers can be turned down for mortgages due to incorrectly installed insulation, whether on timber-framed or steel-framed buildings. - Voids in the cavity
Voids can be caused by poorly installed insulation.
The use of an incorrect drill pattern can also be a factor.
