Remove and refill for Wigston Magna properties
Wigston Magna is among the towns we cover in Leicestershire, alongside Oadby, Leicester and Hinckley. It is roughly 4 miles south-east of Leicester.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Wigston Magna properties, so you can choose who fixes them. If your Wigston Magna installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Much of Leicestershire sits in the more sheltered driving-rain zones of the UK, which widens the choice of fill. Exposed elevations, coastal sites and high ground still get checked wall by wall.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Wigston Magna, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

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.
