Remove and refill for Thornaby-on-Tees properties
Thornaby-on-Tees sits in County Durham, about 20 miles south-east of Durham. We work across the TS17 district, including nearby Stockton-on-Tees, Billingham and Darlington.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Thornaby-on-Tees properties, so you can choose who fixes them. Where a Thornaby-on-Tees wall does need work, bricks are lifted and rebuilt in matching mortar, and the cavity is checked with a camera before it is closed up.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. County Durham has a mix of moderate and more exposed sites. Hilltop, coastal and west-facing walls take the brunt of wind-driven rain, so the survey records exposure for each elevation before a material is chosen.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Thornaby-on-Tees, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England
Filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification if insulation work follows.

Why refill at all?
Often the original problem was the wrong material for the exposure, poor installation or defects in the outer wall, not cavity insulation as such. Once the defects are fixed and the cavity is clean, a suitable certified system can usually go back in. Where the wall is too exposed for any fill, we say so and leave it empty.
