Cavity wall insulation for Reigate properties
Our Surrey coverage takes in Reigate (RH2) and nearby Redhill, Horley and Banstead. It is roughly 16 miles east of Guildford.
Most Reigate 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. A suitable wall in Reigate is usually filled in a single day from outside, with drill holes made good to match the pointing.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Much of Surrey 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.
For regulations, in Reigate filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Funding in England

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.
