If they had the insulated done "some time ago" but you have only recently been getting these fumes, then that does not suggest a connection.
I am aware of a potential issue with Urea-formaldehyde injected foam, and this can lead to symptoms like you have described, but blown fibre or poly beads are relatively inert.
See HSE site for info on UF foam, effects and treatment
