Cavity insulation top-up for Thornaby-on-Tees properties
If your property is in Thornaby-on-Tees or the TS17 district or nearby Stockton-on-Tees, Billingham and Darlington, it is within our County Durham coverage. It is around 20 miles south-east of Durham.
A suitable wall in Thornaby-on-Tees is usually filled in a single day from outside, with drill holes made good to match the pointing. For semi-detached and terraced homes in Thornaby-on-Tees, cavity barriers are fitted where your wall meets your neighbour's so the fill stays on your side.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. 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.
On compliance, in Thornaby-on-Tees filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

How do I know if my walls need a top-up?
Cold patches on internal walls, a thermal image showing uneven heat loss, or an EPC that says 'filled cavity' when parts of the house feel colder are all signs. Extensions are a common cause: the new wall is insulated as built, but the old wall it joins may have been left partly empty.
