Determine customer needs
Every roof or wall is different, and may require different products to another. For example, low-pitch roofs may require a roof blanket product due to minimal air-space between roof and ceiling. Listed below are the different products we provide and their application:
- Bradford Gold Insulation - highly efficient glasswool batts with R-values from 2.5 to 4. Great for any wall or roof.
- Bradford Hi-performance Insulation - The premium end of glasswool batts with R-values from 5 to 7.
- Bradford SoundScreen - premium rockwool sound insulation with great thermal insulation too
- Anti-con roof blanket - an additional layer of thermal protection, great for low-pitch roofs.
- Sizulation - protects against moisture and condensation in the roof.
Access roof space
Upon choosing your insulation product, the next step is to access your roof space. We are able to access any type of roof on any type of building, including:
- Metal roofs
- Tiled roofs
- Cathedral ceilings
- Multi-storey buildings
- Via manhole/trapdoor
- Other hard to access roof spaces
Removal of insulation
If your home is already insulated, it will need to be removed prior to installation. Installing over the top of existing insulation is not only dangerous, but the small gaps created between insulation can reduce performance by up to 50%. For customers' own safety, TRS Insulation does not install on top of existing insulation for additional R-value, as the additional weight on the ceiling can cause it to collapse.
We are able to remove almost any insulation material, including:
- Fibreglass/glasswool insulation
- Rockwool insulation
- Cellulose/blow-in insulation
- Polyester insulation
- Seaweed insulation
- Sawdust insulation

Installation of insulation
Once the roof is clean, we are able to lay the insulation batts. This can take anywhere from 2 hours to a day depending on the size of your roof. The process is fairly straightforward but may take additional time if your roof space is cluttered. Care is taken to cut around all electronics, for safety, visibility and ease of access later on.
