Pricing guide
Costs are driven by where the insulation goes (internal cavity versus external systems), the materials and finishing required, and how much area is being done. Access needs such as scaffolding, after‑hours attendance and regional callout or hourly rates also influence totals, and suspected hazardous materials are usually handled separately. If you mark the area as 'unsure', a conservative mid-range band is typically used for estimating.
Wall location and type
Internal cavity batts are generally simpler than external wall systems, which usually require extra handling and finishing.
Material and finishing requirements
Higher‑performance or specialised finishes for external walls typically increase material and labour needs compared with standard batts.
Access and scaffolding needs
Restricted access, height or the need for scaffolding usually adds complexity and is treated as an additional access factor.
Project size and coordination
Whole‑house or multi‑area jobs often bring modest efficiencies but also add coordination time that can change the overall scope.
Presence of hazardous materials
Asbestos or other hazardous materials are excluded from standard installs and will require separate specialist removal before work can proceed.
