Draught-proofing for Barking properties
We cover Barking and the IG11 postcode district, including nearby Ilford, Becontree and Thamesmead. It is about 9 miles east of London.
Where a Barking home also has empty cavity walls, we can survey those at the same time. In Barking homes this is often done on the same visit as a cavity fill, which saves a second trip.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Barking, 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.
