How to recognise it
Loose-fill looks like candy-floss or grey-blue fluffy wool between joists. Vermiculite is a pebbly, popcorn-like fill that can contain asbestos. Loft debris from damaged AIB or lagged pipes also contaminates otherwise safe insulation.
Why it's serious
Loose fibre releases at the slightest disturbance, walking boards, storing boxes, running cables. If you suspect loose-fill, stay out of the loft and call a licensed contractor.
Removal and cost
Always licensed work under full enclosure with negative pressure. Costs run from around £800 for contaminated-debris cleans to £15,000 for full loose-fill removal, quoted fixed after a survey.
