Repointing and pre-insulation repairs for Rushden properties
If your property is in Rushden or the NN10 district or nearby Wellingborough, Kettering and Northampton, it is within our Northamptonshire coverage. It is about 12 miles east of Northampton.
If your Rushden installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work. Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Rushden properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Much of Northamptonshire sits in the more sheltered driving-rain zones of the UK, which widens the choice of fill. Exposed elevations, coastal sites and high ground still get checked wall by wall.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Rushden, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

Why repairs come first
Energy Saving Trust advice is to fix brickwork, pointing, roofs, gutters and downpipes before filling. A filled cavity is less forgiving of a wet outer leaf than an empty one, so we price repairs separately and you choose who carries them out.
