Cavity wall insulation removal for Heywood properties
Our Greater Manchester coverage takes in Heywood (OL10) and nearby Rochdale, Bury and Whitefield. It is roughly 7 miles north of Manchester.
Where a Heywood 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. We never cold-call in Heywood or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Greater Manchester 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, if cavity wall insulation follows in Heywood, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England

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.
