Draught-proofing for Rayleigh properties
Our Essex coverage takes in Rayleigh (SS6) and nearby South Benfleet, Wickford and Canvey Island. It is about 12 miles south-east of Chelmsford.
We check ventilation as carefully as insulation in Rayleigh homes, because both matter for keeping a house dry. Small measures like this are often among the cheapest per pound saved, and they suit Rayleigh homes of every age.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Rayleigh, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Funding in England
In England, ECO4 runs to 31 December 2026 and Warm Homes: Local Grant supports low-income households through councils.

Ventilation still matters
Trickle vents, air bricks and extractor fans are there for a reason. We seal accidental gaps, not the ventilation your home needs to keep condensation down.
