Pre-sale and home inspection insulation removal handles attic problems that surface during a house sale, such as droppings, soaked insulation or possible vermiculite. Buyers, sellers, agents and inspectors receive a quick written price, then a set of before and after pictures they can pass along.
The work is insured from start to finish. House sales run on fixed dates, so we keep the quote short, clear and quick.
Attic insulation comes up in home inspections more often than sellers expect. An inspector who opens the hatch usually notes droppings or nesting, water stains, mould on the roof boards, thin or settled insulation, or loose fill that looks like vermiculite.
Each of those needs a different answer. Droppings call for attic cleaning and decontamination. Suspected vermiculite has to be sampled and tested before anyone disturbs it. Thin but clean insulation may only need a top-up.
London's resale market has been slower in 2026, with more listings and buyers taking longer to decide. In a market like that, a clean inspection report helps a house stand out, from a Wortley Village semi to a bungalow in Byron.
A seller who deals with the attic before listing can hand buyers photos and an invoice instead of a question mark. That tends to keep the talk on price rather than on the attic.
Houses that have sat empty, or that one owner lived in for decades, often have an attic nobody has opened in years. Mice and squirrels move in quietly, and a small roof leak can run for a long time before anyone sees a stain.
When a family is selling a parent's house, the inspection is often the first time anyone looks up there. We can work with the executor, the agent or a family member who holds the keys, and send the photos and the quote by email so no one has to travel. Pre-sale insulation removal can usually be finished in a day, before the next showing.
Buyers usually have only a few days to firm up a deal. A written quote with the area, depth and cost set out lets them bargain with facts instead of a guess.
We can often visit quickly and get the quote out soon after. If the work has to happen before closing, we plan it around the dates.
Some buyers ask for the work as a condition of the sale, and others take a price reduction and handle the attic after they move in. Either way, a clear written scope helps both lawyers and both agents know exactly what is being agreed to.
Once a pre-sale job is finished, you get a set of before and after pictures of the attic. Agents can forward them to the buyer's or seller's side, and an inspector can check the result without climbing back up the ladder.
Phone +1 (226) 400-3320 with the closing or condition date. A visit gets booked and the written price follows. Our other services are set out on the home page.
Droppings, water and thin coverage often turn up in the same attic, so one visit can price several of these at once.
Attic insulation removal clears out insulation that has flattened, gone dirty or stopped holding heat. A vacuum machine parked outside pulls loose fill through a hose into large bags, and batts are rolled up and bagged by hand, leaving bare joists that are ready to be checked, sealed and filled again.

Blown-in insulation removal clears away old cellulose and fibreglass loose fill that has sunk, compacted or been spoiled by leaks or animals. A long hose draws the fill from between the joists into big bags standing outside, so nothing is carried through the house and the attic finishes empty.

Attic cleaning and decontamination removes droppings, nesting and soiled insulation left by mice, squirrels, raccoons and bats. The old fill is wetted or treated and taken out with respirators on and the exhaust outside, and the empty attic is then disinfected and treated for odour before anything new goes in.

Wet, mouldy and smoke-damaged insulation removal deals with fill spoiled by roof leaks, ice dams, a bath fan that exhausts into the attic space, or a fire. The damage is photographed for any insurance claim, the ruined material comes out, and the roof boards are left open to dry and be checked.

Vermiculite insulation removal is a job for trained asbestos abatement workers under Ontario rules. We spot the pebbly grey-brown fill, stop work in the attic, arrange a test through a proper lab, coordinate the abatement contractor if the test is positive, and re-insulate after the air clearance.

Attic insulation replacement puts the attic back together after the old fill comes out. While the joists are bare, leaks around wiring, plumbing and ceiling boxes are sealed, eave baffles are fitted, and fresh loose fill is added until it reaches R-50 or R-60, which matches Ontario's new-home standard.
View Attic Insulation ReplacementWe climb into the attic, measure it and put the price in writing. Nothing is owed for the visit, and saying no costs nothing.
Describe the attic and anything you have noticed, such as droppings, a smell, water stains or thin insulation. Your name and phone number are all the form needs. If you would rather talk it over, you can call us at +1 (226) 400-3320.
