Loft insulation for Risca properties
Risca is among the towns we cover in Gwent, alongside Newport, Cwmbran and Caerphilly. It is around 4 miles west of Newport.
We check ventilation as carefully as insulation in Risca homes, because both matter for keeping a house dry. Small measures like this are often among the cheapest per pound saved, and they suit Risca homes of every age.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Risca, filling a cavity is notifiable work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales, usually self-certified through a competent person scheme.
