Cavity wall insulation for Bury St Edmunds properties
Our Suffolk coverage takes in Bury St Edmunds (IP33) and nearby Stowmarket, Sudbury and Haverhill. It is roughly 23 miles north-west of Ipswich.
Where a Bury St Edmunds property has an extension or a conservatory, we check how the old and new walls meet, because that junction is often missed. If a wall in Bury St Edmunds is not suitable, for example because of an undiagnosed damp patch or a very exposed gable, you are told so in writing with the reason.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. 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.
On the rules side, in Bury St Edmunds 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.
