Draught-proofing for Houghton-Le-Spring properties
Houghton-Le-Spring sits in Tyne and Wear, about 11 miles south-east of Newcastle upon Tyne. We work across the DH4 district, including nearby Washington, Sunderland and Hebburn.
Where a Houghton-Le-Spring home also has empty cavity walls, we can survey those at the same time. In Houghton-Le-Spring homes this is often done on the same visit as a cavity fill, which saves a second trip.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Houghton-Le-Spring, 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.
