Cavity wall insulation for Christchurch properties
If your property is in Christchurch or the BH6 district or nearby Bournemouth and Poole, it is within our Dorset coverage. It is around 4 miles east of Bournemouth.
Most Christchurch houses built from the 1920s onwards have cavity walls, but the survey still checks each one: cavity width, debris, the condition of the brickwork and how exposed each wall is. For semi-detached and terraced homes in Christchurch, cavity barriers are fitted where your wall meets your neighbour's so the fill stays on your side.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Dorset 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.
As for paperwork, in Christchurch filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Funding in England
In England, ECO4 runs to 31 December 2026 and Warm Homes: Local Grant supports low-income households through councils.

Which material goes in?
Usually blown mineral wool or bonded polystyrene beads, both third-party certified for cavity fill. The survey picks the system that suits your cavity width, wall condition and exposure zone, not whichever is cheapest on the day. Old-style urea-formaldehyde foam is not used.
