We have Gordon Lewis arriving soon to pump 5.5 pallets of Warmcell.

 

 

Here's Gordon, talking about his work, for anyone that's interested:

I'm having trouble facing up to the thought of vast quantities of access holes for blowing in insulation punched into the underside of my wonderfully (well maybe) airtight roof. Can anyone put my mind at rest?

Tape them up and all is well!

Yes it’s all fine. We had ours done just before Christmas. We used airtight osb board. Installers cut a hole, pumped, replaced hole and taped with a pro clima patch. Most were okay but i went round and taped the edges anyway this weekend ( took me a day).

I have the answer to your prayers!  eBay itme No. 117265832903

 

I am reluctantly selling my lovely Fibre Master 750 Mk III diesel powered insulation blowing machine. We have used it to pump 30 tons of Warmcel cellulose fibre into our barn conversions over the last 8 years but sadly the project is drawing to a close and I have no further use for the machine. This is an ideal machine for a self builder looking to save money on their insulation costs. The machine also has a built in 110v generator.
As you can see from the photos the machine is scruffy but it runs and works very well. 
Here are a couple of links to videos of this type of machine in action:

Included with the machine are:

 

Control cable on a reel

Plenty of 2 1/2" hose

2 off 50mm aluminium needles

Homemade rain cover

Full manual & diagrams

Delivery and tuition are available by separate negotiation.

 

It's a bargain at £900, you will easily recoup the cost even on a small project. Contact me on this forum or by phone  (07970 667909) to avoid eBay fees.

Maybe this would be a good 'ub tool loan machine.

Not exactly “easily portable” I’m afraid….. :/

@Captain Scally

 

I’ve asked you questions here and on eBay as I’m interested.

 

Any chance of answering them?

Any joy?

No, and I think it’s sold now. I see there are other machines on eBay though.

Massive lump of a thing tbh.

 

Gordon Lewis operates off a 13a plug out of the back of his van, small hopper and tired / busy old fella constantly tossing bales into it, and the man is like a dog with a bone; literally fills every last nook and cranny until the pump wont push the Warmcell down the pipe anymore.

 

If anyone wants Warmcell blowing in, he’s a legend. And Welsh. That’s a win-win lol.
