Cavity insulation top-up for Canning Town properties
Our Greater London coverage takes in Canning Town (E16) and nearby Stratford, Bow and Canary Wharf. It is around 6 miles east of London.
A suitable wall in Canning Town is usually filled in a single day from outside, with drill holes made good to match the pointing. Where a Canning Town property has an extension or a conservatory, we check how the old and new walls meet, because that junction is often missed.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Much of Greater London 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.
In terms of approvals, in Canning Town filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Funding in England
In England, ECO4 runs to 31 December 2026 and Warm Homes: Local Grant supports low-income households through councils.

When a top-up is not enough
If the existing fill is wet, contaminated with debris or breaking down, adding more on top can make things worse. In that case we tell you the honest option, which may be partial or full removal and refill.
