Cavity wall insulation for Basingstoke properties
If your property is in Basingstoke or the RG21 district or nearby Fleet, Yateley and Aldershot, it is within our Hampshire coverage. It is about 29 miles north-east of Southampton.
Basingstoke properties with rendered or painted walls get a closer look at the outer finish, because cracked render can let rain behind it. Where a Basingstoke property has an extension or a conservatory, we check how the old and new walls meet, because that junction is often missed.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Hampshire 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 Basingstoke 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.
What is included in Basingstoke
- Certified mineral wool or bonded bead system
- Borescope check where the cavity is in doubt
- Drilling, filling and colour-matched making good
- Cavity barriers at party walls
