Cavity wall insulation removal for Felixstowe properties
Felixstowe is among the towns we cover in Suffolk, alongside Ipswich and Stowmarket. It is about 11 miles south-east of Ipswich.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Felixstowe properties, so you can choose who fixes them. Where a Felixstowe 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.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Much of Suffolk 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.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Felixstowe, 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.
