Cavity wall insulation for Northwich properties
Our Cheshire coverage takes in Northwich (CW9) and nearby Winsford, Warrington and Runcorn. It is roughly 16 miles east of Chester.
Where a Northwich property has an extension or a conservatory, we check how the old and new walls meet, because that junction is often missed. A suitable wall in Northwich is usually filled in a single day from outside, with drill holes made good to match the pointing.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Cheshire 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.
On the rules side, in Northwich filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

Is my wall suitable for cavity wall insulation?
Most homes built from the 1920s onwards have cavity walls, but having a cavity is not the same as being suitable. The Energy Saving Trust's rule of thumb is a cavity of at least 50mm, clear of rubble, behind masonry in good condition, on a wall that is not exposed to severe driving rain or flood risk.
