Cavity wall insulation removal for Dunstable properties
Dunstable sits in Bedfordshire, around 17 miles south of Bedford. We work across the LU6 district, including nearby Luton, Leighton Buzzard and Ampthill.
Damp in an insulated Dunstable home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction. Where a Dunstable 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.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Much of Bedfordshire 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.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Dunstable, 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.

If you have a guarantee
Contact your original installer first. If that does not resolve it within two months, CIGA's process applies for CIGA-guaranteed installs. Removing insulation yourself can void a guarantee, so speak to the provider before work.
