Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Dunstable properties
If your property is in Dunstable or the LU6 district or nearby Luton, Leighton Buzzard and Ampthill, it is within our Bedfordshire coverage. It is about 17 miles south of Bedford.
Dunstable properties with rendered or painted walls get a closer look at the outer finish, because cracked render can let rain behind it. If a wall in Dunstable is not suitable, for example because of an undiagnosed damp patch or a very exposed gable, you are told so in writing with the reason.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Much of Bedfordshire 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, in Dunstable filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

Extensions that join an older house
Where an extension meets an existing cavity wall, the junction is a weak point. We can borescope and fill the existing wall at the same time so the old and new walls perform together.
