Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Peterborough properties
If your property is in Peterborough or the PE1 district or nearby March, Huntingdon and Wisbech, it is within our Cambridgeshire coverage. It is around 30 miles north-west of Cambridge.
If a wall in Peterborough 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. Peterborough properties with rendered or painted walls get a closer look at the outer finish, because cracked render can let rain behind it.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Much of Cambridgeshire 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.
In terms of approvals, in Peterborough filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

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 Peterborough
- Trays, closers and stop ends as drawn
- Clean-cavity working
