Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Widnes properties
We cover Widnes and the WA8 postcode district, including nearby Runcorn, Warrington and Ellesmere Port Town. It is roughly 14 miles north-east of Chester.
A suitable wall in Widnes is usually filled in a single day from outside, with drill holes made good to match the pointing. If a wall in Widnes 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.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Cheshire has a mix of moderate and more exposed sites. Hilltop, coastal and west-facing walls take the brunt of wind-driven rain, so the survey records exposure for each elevation before a material is chosen.
As for paperwork, in Widnes 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.
