FreshDuct removes old dusty insulation, cleans the roof space, and installs high-performance thermal batts using certified installation practices — so your home stays warmer in winter, cooler in summer, and the job is done properly from the start.
Send us photos of your roof space / floor plan — or book a comprehensive inspection.
Three details and we’ll call you back — usually the same day.
Insulation only performs properly when it is installed properly. Gaps, compression, poor cutting, incorrect clearances around electrical fittings, or installing new batts over old contaminated material can reduce performance and create avoidable issues.
FreshDuct uses certified insulation installation practices, with work carried out with reference to Australian installation standards, manufacturer guidelines, roof-space safety requirements and the practical conditions of your home.
The product must suit your roof space, climate, property type and specific objective. We ensure compliance with the latest NCC requirements.
Compressing batts ruins thermal performance. We precision-cut around joists, corners, services and edges for a perfect thermal boundary.
Roof spaces contain wiring, lights, and services. Our trained installers know exactly what to check and how to maintain safe clearances.
Customers should see before/after evidence. We document the work so you know the job was completed professionally.

Cheaper quotes often compare *only* the price per batt. They rarely account for the quality of preparation, toxic removal, safe access, certification, and the installation standard.

If the roof contains old blow-in insulation, dusty loose-fill, degraded batts, rodent contamination, moisture-affected insulation, seaweed, cellulose, foam or old rockwool, the best result is often removal first.
Installing new batts directly over contaminated or uneven material can hide the problem and reduce the quality of the upgrade. We clean the slate before we install to ensure maximum thermal performance.

An uninsulated or poorly insulated home forces your split systems and heaters to work overtime. By establishing a premium thermal boundary, you can reduce the amount of energy wasted to the outside environment.
Estimated Yearly Impact Potential

If the roof contains old blow-in insulation, degraded batts, heavy dust, rodent contamination or moisture-affected material, removal first gives the best result. Installing new batts over contaminated material hides problems and reduces thermal performance — our Doncaster East, Glen Waverley and Kew case studies above show exactly why.
Most Melbourne ceiling upgrades use R5.0 to R6.0 thermal batts, selected to suit your roof space, climate zone and NCC requirements. We confirm the right R-value at inspection and show you the product on site.
Most residential jobs — removal, vacuum clean and new installation — are completed in a single day, depending on roof size and access. We confirm timing when we quote.
