The loft insulation in a 1984 house is loose glass fibre scattered between the rafters. Its pretty horrible dusty stuff and I'd like to have it removed before installing new insulation. But how to get it done?
I imagine a van outside with a 4 inch diam hose running into the house with the stuff being sucked out through it into a receiver in the van...a variation of the specialised lorry that is used to suck out street drains. With such equipment it would not take very long to do. I'm sure I've seen this being done elsewhere.
Although I usually tackle most jobs I think this is a bridge too far, especially with the sort of equipment available to me - diy vaccuum cleaners, woodworking vac, etc - because the hose diams are too small and the quantities too large, though I don't say it couldn't be done.
My question is how or where to find such a service in the Birmingham area as the usual searches produce no results. Lots of results for installing loft insulation but none for removing it.
Any thoughts or advice on this. ...yes I do want to remove it.
