Loft Decontamination Required Before New Insulation Installation
Loft Decontamination
If you’re planning to have new loft insulation installed in your home, there’s an important step you need to take first—decontamination of the loft space. Many customers are surprised to learn that insulation companies will not enter or work in contaminated lofts, and we want to help you avoid delays and frustration in your home improvement plans.
Why Decontamination Is Necessary?
Loft spaces often become home to unwanted pests—rats, mice, birds, and even squirrels. These pests leave behind:
- Droppings and urine
- Nesting materials
- Feathers, fur, or carcasses
- Parasites like fleas and mites
- Strong, lingering odours
These contaminants pose serious health risks and make the area unsafe for workers. Insulation companies are not equipped or insured to handle biohazards or pest infestations. For this reason, they will refuse to work in the space until it has been professionally cleaned and decontaminated.
What We Can Do to Help?
At Kestrel Pest Management, we specialise in pest removal and loft decontamination services. Here’s how we can help:
- Inspect and identify any contamination.
- Safely remove carcasses, nests, droppings, and other hazardous materials.
- Disinfect and deodorize the entire loft space.
Once this is complete, you’ll receive a decontamination report, which can be presented to your insulation contractor as proof that the loft is now safe to work in.
