Our take: A strong choice for wall insulation retrofits specifically, though if you're getting exterior wall drilling done, ask up front what filler product will be used to patch the holes.

How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Sydney insulation companies. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from hundreds of reviews carries more weight than a 5.0 from a smaller sample. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does insulation cost in Sydney? (2026)

Insulation pricing in Sydney depends on roof size, insulation type, and whether removal of old material is needed, and most installers on this page quote per job after an inspection. If you’re installing it yourself, one supplier sells insulation directly online with published product pricing.

Serving all of Sydney

These companies cover the Hills District, Leichhardt, Ingleburn, Dural, and Prestons, spanning most of greater Sydney. Searching for insulation services near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number so you can request a free quote for your specific property.

What to ask before you hire an insulation installer

  • Does the quote include removal and vacuuming of old insulation, or just new installation?
  • What R-value batts or material will be used, and is it suited to my roof type?
  • Will you provide before-and-after photos of the job?
  • How long will the job take, and how many people will be on site?
  • If drilling is required for wall insulation, what product will patch the holes?
  • Is there a warranty on the installation work?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these insulation services?

We started from insulation companies in Sydney with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Can I buy insulation and install it myself?

Yes, Pricewise Insulation sells insulation products directly online for DIY installation, alongside offering professional installers if you’d prefer a crew to do the work.

Do these companies handle wall insulation, not just ceiling?

Sydney Insulation and Pricewise both explicitly offer wall insulation, including retrofits on older weatherboard homes, in addition to ceiling and underfloor work.

The bottom line

Active Vac & Insulation is the safest default thanks to its deep review base and combined vacuum-and-install approach, while Insulvac and Rapid Insulation share the top rating for anyone wanting a proven, family-run team. Ask for before-and-after photos and confirm the material used before the crew arrives.
