About us
Fluffbusters is Aucklands premiere insulation removal business servicing the greater Auckland area ,Waikato and Bay Of Plenty.
What we do
Our expertise is in removing and disposing of ceiling insulation such as Insul-fluf (also known/spelt as insul-fluff, insulfluff or insulfluf ) cellulose, polystyrene bead , loose fill fibre or wool type products.
Think very carefully before installing new insulation over the top of older insul-fluff type products.
Cellulose insulation (macerated paper) absorbs and stores high levels of moisture in your ceiling and installing new over old simply creates a moisture sandwich which is often contaminated with dead vermin and their faeces.
Why would you install a ventilation system pumping those smells down into your house ?Healthy home ? I don't think so ! We are often asked to remove these products from a home after ventilation systems have been installed. A high grade filter might block the dust, till it becomes prematurely clogged , and the salesman won't tell you that.. but it won't block the smell or prevent the allergies.

"Frank Vogels and his assistant, Dimitrius, treated our home with the utmost respect and actually made getting rid of old insulation a pleasure. They were well equipped, clearly highly experienced, extremely pleasant, and quickly transformed the appearance of a grotty ceiling cavity. They left the floor below as clean as they found it. At the end of the job we felt that the pair had earned more than Frank charged. In relation to a competitor's quote, he saved us hundreds of dollars. Frank's advice is certainly worth heeding and his careful measuring and re-measuring confirmed the real size of the coverage area for us, meaning that we are about to save hundreds more when it comes to the installation of our new insulation."

"Frank and Demetrius completely exceeded our expectations. They drove nearly 3 hours each way to reach us, and completely transformed our roof space after a rat problem. They left the roof, access and even the driveway where they worked spotless. I cannot express how much we appreciated their work ethic and the quality of their results, and at a very economical price. These guys are fantastic. A++ Highly recommended"

"Frank and his team completed the planned work with no issues! Frank had great communication skills, was quick to respond and offered good advice. He got 2 men to work together, and solved the difficulties of installing insulation and moisture barrier in a tight and messy sub-floor space with no sweat. Frank, himself, worked hard in the dark attic, he and another person removed the old stuff and removed/installed the floor boards and brought the project to a timely completion within the expected time frame! We highly recommend their services! Thank you!"

"We hired Frank and his Team at Fluffbusters in November 22 for an insulation removal job of 100m2. I was very happy with (1) Frank and Team, for being very good to work with and honest and straightforward (2) being able to handle a relatively difficult job (working in a confined truss roof cavity space with limited height) shows Fluffbusters professionalism and expertise to get any job done, and done rite, no hassles, Fluffbusters are definitely NOT cowboys!
So good I would insist to anyone to use their service."

"Frank and Hunter did an excellent job. Frank made it easy to get a quote over the phone, then booked the job in and showed up on time. They did an excellent job, and went above and beyond to clean the inside of my roof which also had blown-in insuation stuck to it. They were very careful in the ceiling space. I am very happy with the result, and would happily recommend their services. Very polite and professional, and great quality result, better than I had hoped for."

"I cannot rate Frank @ Fluffbusters highly enough. Communication was great from the point of first contact right through to the job being completed. They drove all the way from Auckland to Whangarei to do our job and we could not be more pleased with the result. They arrived when they said they would in the morning, got stuck in setting up their (amazing) equipment, and by the end of the afternoon left us with a roof space totally cleared of all the nasty insulfluf which we had to have removed. Lovely people to deal with, Frank and his partner were just great, and efficient and hardworking too. They've just expanded to lower North Island with a branch in Wellington too, using the same extraction methods."

"It's not often that cheapest price gets the best quality, but I felt like I got exactly that with Frank. I was initially turned off by the zero budget website but just proves once again about books and their covers.
Frank and his apprentices sucked out 80m2 of insulfluff and 80m2 of Pink Batts in about 5 hours and where the most competitively priced out of 4 service providers I called. I went into the ceiling after the job was done and it really was spic n span."

"Frank & his apprentice were superb in removing all old insufluff from the ceiling.
Frank's communicated all his observations about the status of the ceiling, potential damages due to an old plumbing pipes -which are hidden under the old insulation.
I already recommended his valuable service to one of the builders and two friends.
Anyone who needs a reliable, professional & reasonable priced old insulation cleanup, Frank is the FluffBuster.
I wish him all the best."

"Frank not only did the job we paid him for, but he also helped me repair our ceiling which had become loose and was drooping due to a leak in our roof. With his help we managed to apply glue to fix this and avoid a costly repair bill later. This Frank did at no extra cost. All part of his service. Thanks for doing more than you were asked, Frank."

"Frank successfully done the near impossible and removed all our old insulfluff. We have a low-pitch roof which made this task very difficult. Frank and his colleague arrived at 7.30am and powered through the entire day, finishing at 5.30pm. He provided us with sound advice and exceptional service. Frank is best described as an honest, hard-working professional with integrity. Whilst scouting out insulation quotes with two different companies they queried who had we used to remove the old insulfluff. When we told them it was Fluffbusters, their responses were positive and reassuring, saying that Frank's work was meticulous and thorough. Frank would have to be the best in the business and I wouldn't use anyone else. Cheers Frank."

Arrived on time, setup was quick and they made sure to put down drop cloths and were careful with the house, they worked quickly and hardout all day. They packed up and even vacuumed. An insulation installer since commented it was the cleanest ceiling cavity he has seen. Very professional. Highly recommended."

"Despite being told by an insulation firm that the insult-fluff in my attic was 'minimum code' and there was no need for new insulation I felt otherwise and had Frank from Fluffbusters check it out. Turns out is was in a pretty bad state and removing it was not only a great option but highly recommended for the house holds health and well being. Frank was great to work with, very easy to get on with and very free with advice and information. I have a very low pitch roof and access is dreadful, I could see Frank was a bit daunted by the proposition until I told him I was getting the house reproofed and new insulation installed, at which point it was just a matter of getting working with the roofers and having them open up the roof in strategic points for Frank and Eric to access the roof with he giant vacuum cleaner and they made short work of getting almost all of the fluff out of the roof. Access was still tricky for them and it was a very hot day, but they just powered through it and did an awesome job and really didn't get in the way of the roofers to any degree.
This is a messy business, and there was some cleaning up to do afterwards, but I can't fault Frank's work one bit and anyone who has this insult-fluff in their attic, get Frank in to suck it out and dispose of it, don't do what most insulation installers say and just install blanket style insulation over the top, the insult-fluff is toxic, get rid of it and Frank from Fluffbusters is the best man for the job!"

"As many of the reviews have said before, I will also agree that the service delivered by Frank and Eric from Fluff-busters was Fantastic.
On Time, Friendly, Got stuck into it and did a great job. Frank kept up great communication before the job, which he was able to support at fairly short notice.
If anyone reading this is contemplating on removing old Insul-fluff or similar horrible insulation, I would fully recommend it, DON'T insulate over the top of it, do it ones do it right. On hot days we could smell the dust coming from the HRV and played havoc to my asthma. Will also make further renovations so much easier with out having to bath in insulation and what ever else has been in there over the last 60 years.
Thanks Frank and Eric, keep up the good work and continue being that great little kiwi business that knows what people need at a great price.
Cheers"

He stuck to his quote and had an amazing positive attitude the whole time. We sat and had lunch together and he is a very pleasant and interesting person. Our roof is as now clean and fluff free ready for new insulation. They also cleaned up any spill and left the site very clean. I can honestly say that he is one of those rare tradesman that you wish to find. If only they were all like Frank !"

Great communication, very accommodating with appointment times and they have done a terrific job - they removed a huge amount of old insulation material , working methodically all day and cleaning up behind them.

"Frank and his team removed 20 yr old decomposing insulfluff from the ceiling in our villa, had been highly recommended to us by other insulation professionals. Excellent communication and professionalism, from the time he quoted the job through to job completion. Arrived on time, finished the job within his estimated completion time, and when we saw the amount of old \"fluff\" he\'d removed from our ceiling we felt the price charged represented excellent value. Would not hesitate to recommend Frank and his team."

"Frank was practical, well organised, experienced, friendly and helpful. He worked quickly and the job was done more easily and quickly than I\'d thought. He was very keen to ensure that the job was done properly and to my satisfaction. I worked with him in the ceiling cavity and at the machine on the trailer for the five hours it took to do the work. This was agreed and enabled him to keep the cost to me to a minimum. he supplied me with overalls, gloves and dust mask/air filter. The invoice was supplied on the same day and paid immediately. I recommend him without hesitation."
