Insulation jobs look simple from the road but the number moves on R-value, ceiling height, roof access and whether old batts need pulling out first — a retrofit wall that has to be opened, insulated and patched costs far more than the same batts dropped into a new build before lining. Tradewin prices ceiling batts, blow-in, underfloor, wall retrofit and spray foam against your real material and labour costs, then sends a clean quote from the roof space before you're back down the ladder. Save your regular jobs — ceiling batts by the square metre, underfloor runs, remove-and-refit — as TradeWin Recipes™ so the next quote is a two-tap job.

Pre-loaded job types with benchmarks — plus the ability to add your own custom jobs.
The same job can vary widely. Tradewin prices against your real costs, so these factors are built in — not guessed.
Higher R-value batts, blow-in depth and open- versus closed-cell spray foam change the material cost per square metre — the same ceiling can price very differently by spec.
A low roof cavity, tight underfloor crawl space or high raked ceiling slows the install and adds real labour that customers rarely picture.
Batts installed before plasterboard are a straightforward run; retrofitting an existing wall means cutting, insulating and patching — a much bigger job for the same area.
Pulling out old or damaged insulation and getting it to the tip is billable time and cost — quoting it explicitly keeps remove-and-refit jobs profitable.

Yes — ceiling batts, blown-in, underfloor, rigid board and spray foam are all pre-loaded job types priced per square metre. Enter your product spec and labour (or snap the supplier invoice) and Tradewin prices the job against your real costs, including access difficulty.
Yes. Retrofit wall insulation is a separate job type from new-build pre-lining install, so the extra cut-insulate-patch labour is priced in properly rather than being quoted like an open wall.
