Cavity wall insulation removal for Kettering properties
If your property is in Kettering or the NN16 district or nearby Wellingborough, Corby and Rushden, it is within our Northamptonshire coverage. It is around 12 miles north-east of Northampton.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Kettering properties, so you can choose who fixes them. If your Kettering installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Much of Northamptonshire 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Kettering, 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.
