Blown mineral wool insulation for Letchworth Garden City properties
We cover Letchworth Garden City and the SG6 postcode district, including nearby Hitchin, Stevenage and Welwyn Garden City. It is around 17 miles north of St Albans.
Most Letchworth Garden City houses built from the 1920s onwards have cavity walls, but the survey still checks each one: cavity width, debris, the condition of the brickwork and how exposed each wall is. Where a Letchworth Garden City property has an extension or a conservatory, we check how the old and new walls meet, because that junction is often missed.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Much of Hertfordshire 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.
As for paperwork, in Letchworth Garden City filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

When is it not the right choice?
Very narrow or uneven cavities, walls with lots of mortar snots and debris, and some very exposed elevations can be better suited to bonded bead, which flows around obstructions and is certified for a wider range of exposure zones in some systems. The survey says which and why.
