    So, an older (60 plus years) house, brick veneer. We had the walls insulated on the advise of a friend who asked us to contact Retro-Spec. Allen was on to it and worked with us through some challenging circumstances (other contractors, weather etc) to get the job done. Although it is a bit early to comment on the value (i.e. energy saved etc) we were impressed with the workmanship and willingness to go the extra mile. We would recommend Allen and his team to anyone. Bob

    My wife and I had our garage ceiling insulated by retro-spec. We were so pleased with the service that we decided to get our panel lift door and external garage wall insulated as well. We really appreciated the effort Allen went to to secure a good price for the Kool Door product for our panel lift door, as the product now ships from Sydney, not Melbourne. The garage door looks fantastic, and the entire job was completed efficiently and in time for me to get to an important engagement. Communication was excellent and we really appreciated the service. Thanks and much appreciated!

    Allen is a man of his word and a true treasure to find amongst Tassie Tradies. He turned up on time, provided a timely quote and completed the job throughly, cleanly and quietly. I highly recommend and will use again. Thank you so much Allen and Leighton for a job well done.

    We've had Allen from Retro-Spec Insulation perform two insulation jobs for us and both times the results were nothing short of spectacular. In both cases it took the houses from being miserably cold in the winter to being quite pleasant to live in. The value of wall insulation is completely underrated in Tasmania. In places like Queensland where you are trying to stop solar gain, ceiling insulation is important and walls less so, but in Tasmania where where heat loss from the structure during winter the dominant energy user, wall insulation is just as important as having the ceiling insulated. Allen and his team do an amazing job of installing pumped wall insulation using minimally invasive techniques, so you don't have to wait until the next renovation to add insulation to your house.

    Had our Federation era house in Wynyard retro insulated by these guys- best money ever spent. Made a huge difference to inside temperature. They took one of the top weatherboards down and just blew it in (easy in our case as house had no noggins) Fire retardant too.

Frequently asked questions

How much do insulation installers typically charge?
Costs for insulation installers vary depending on the job type, material R‑value, total area and how difficult access is. Jobs that involve removing old insulation, contamination or specialist remediation are typically more labour-intensive. The live pricing shown on this page gives estimates for specific job types and locations.
Do insulation installers charge call-out fees?
Many insulation installers charge a call-out fee to attend and assess the job, which commonly covers travel time and the initial inspection. This fee is usually separate from hourly labour and materials costs. After-hours or regional visits may attract higher rates or different multipliers, so check the live quote details.
When do insulation installers need a licence?
In some states and territories insulation installers must hold state building registration or a contractor licence for certain types of work. Where registration is required, providers will often display their state registration or contractor licence on quotes. Even where formal registration isn't needed, look for industry credentials such as EEC Certified Insulation Installer or membership of Insulation Australasia.
