Cavity insulation top-up for Ross-on-Wye properties
We cover Ross-on-Wye and the HR9 postcode district, including nearby Ledbury, Hereford and Leominster. It is about 12 miles south-east of Hereford.
If a wall in Ross-on-Wye is not suitable, for example because of an undiagnosed damp patch or a very exposed gable, you are told so in writing with the reason. Ross-on-Wye properties with rendered or painted walls get a closer look at the outer finish, because cracked render can let rain behind it.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Herefordshire 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.
In terms of approvals, in Ross-on-Wye filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

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.
