Cavity wall insulation removal for Brixton properties
If your property is in Brixton or the SW9 district or nearby Peckham, Pimlico and Battersea, it is within our Greater London coverage. It is around 3 miles south of London.
Damp in an insulated Brixton home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction. We never cold-call in Brixton or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies.
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.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Brixton, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England

How extraction works
Bricks are carefully removed in a line near the base and at intervals higher up where needed. The fill is broken up and drawn out with an extraction vacuum, the cavity is cleared and checked with a camera, and the bricks are rebuilt in matching mortar. Extracted material is bagged and disposed of properly.
