When it comes to installing or removing insulation, the quality of workmanship and reliability of the company you choose can have a significant impact on your home’s performance, comfort, and long-term energy savings. We’ve spent over a decade building a reputation that homeowners trust – reflected in our Checkatrade rating of over 9.7.
But why does a high rating matter? And how do you steer clear of so-called “cowboys”?
The Value of a High Checkatrade Rating
1. Independent Validation
Checkatrade ratings are based on real feedback from verified customers. When a company consistently receives ratings above 9 out of 10, it reflects a high standard across key areas: workmanship, reliability, courtesy and tidiness. For us, this rating isn’t a marketing tool – it’s a record of how we treat every project, large or small.
2. Accountability
Checkatrade members are bound by a code of conduct. That means if something does go wrong, you have a clear route to resolve the issue. Reputable companies like ours work to avoid disputes in the first place by being transparent, responsive, and delivering work to a consistently high standard.
3. Peace of Mind
Hiring a well-rated installer means fewer surprises. Whether we’re removing poorly installed cavity wall insulation or upgrading your home with modern breathable materials, our customers know exactly what to expect: proper preparation, professional execution, and reliable aftercare.
The Risk of Cowboy Traders
Sadly, the insulation industry is not immune to disreputable operators. “Cowboy” installers often rely on cold calling, inflated energy savings claims, or door-to-door pressure selling. They may quote low, cut corners during installation, and then disappear when problems arise.
Signs to watch out for include:
-
No online presence or reviews
-
Vague or changing estimates
-
Requests for full payment upfront
-
Lack of insurance or accreditation
-
No fixed address or contact number
Poorly installed insulation can lead to damp, mould and even structural issues. Removal can be costly and disruptive. That’s why prevention – by choosing a trusted company – is always the better option.
