Cavity wall insulation for Wellingborough properties
Wellingborough is among the towns we cover in Northamptonshire, alongside Rushden, Kettering and Northampton. It is roughly 9 miles north-east of Northampton.
Wellingborough properties with rendered or painted walls get a closer look at the outer finish, because cracked render can let rain behind it. Where a Wellingborough 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. 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.
As for paperwork, in Wellingborough filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

What happens on the day?
Holes of around 22mm are drilled in the mortar joints in a set pattern, roughly a metre apart. The insulation is blown in from the bottom up until each section is full, then every hole is filled with colour-matched mortar. Air bricks and flues are protected, and a cavity barrier is fitted where your wall joins a neighbour's.
