Pricing guide

Costs are driven by the labour hours required, a single callout fee, and disposal or materials charges. Standard removals with non-hazardous material are typically less expensive than legacy or contaminated removals which usually need more labour, containment and higher disposal costs.

  • Insulation condition and contamination

    Loose-fill, dusty or visibly contaminated insulation usually takes longer to extract and requires extra handling precautions.

  • Volume and area to remove

    Larger roof spaces or thicker layers increase crew labour hours and disposal needs.

  • Containment, filtration and equipment needs

    Slow extraction or heavy dust often requires containment, filtration and sometimes hired equipment, adding to scope.

  • Disposal method and waste uplift

    Typical disposals are covered, but very large volumes may need skip hire or uplift surcharges.

  • Access and site complexity

    Tight roof cavities, fragile ceilings or difficult access usually extend labour time and careful handling.
