Draught-proofing for Longton properties
Our Staffordshire coverage takes in Longton (ST3) and nearby Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle under Lyme and Kidsgrove. It is roughly 2 miles south-east of Stoke-on-Trent.
Where a Longton home also has empty cavity walls, we can survey those at the same time. In Longton homes this is often done on the same visit as a cavity fill, which saves a second trip.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Longton, 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.
