Draught-proofing for Barnstaple properties

Barnstaple sits in Devon, around 34 miles north-west of Exeter. We work across the EX31 district, including nearby Bideford, Tiverton and Exeter.

Small measures like this are often among the cheapest per pound saved, and they suit Barnstaple homes of every age. In Barnstaple homes this is often done on the same visit as a cavity fill, which saves a second trip.

As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Barnstaple, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
