Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Luton properties
Our Bedfordshire coverage takes in Luton (LU1) and nearby Dunstable, Leighton Buzzard and Ampthill. It is around 18 miles south of Bedford.
If a wall in Luton 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. Where a Luton property has an extension or a conservatory, we check how the old and new walls meet, because that junction is often missed.
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 compliance, in Luton filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Funding in England

What we work from
Your architect's or designer's specification and the energy calculation for the job. We match the product, thickness and fixing to that spec, keep cavities clean as the walls rise, and fit cavity trays, closers and stop ends where shown so the building control inspection goes smoothly.
What is included in Luton
- Trays, closers and stop ends as drawn
- Photo record for building control
- Clean-cavity working
- Coordination with your bricklayers
