Cavity wall insulation removal for Sale properties
We cover Sale and the M33 postcode district, including nearby Stretford, Urmston and Altrincham. It is about 5 miles south-west of Manchester.
If your Sale installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work. Damp in an insulated Sale home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Sale, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

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.
What is included in Sale
- Full extraction and cavity clean
- Brick removal and reinstatement
