Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Falmouth properties
If your property is in Falmouth or the TR11 district or nearby Truro, Redruth and Camborne, it is within our Cornwall coverage. It is roughly 7 miles south of Truro.
Falmouth 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 Falmouth 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.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Parts of Cornwall face some of the heaviest wind-driven rain in the UK, especially exposed coastal and upland sites. Here the survey is stricter: some walls suit only certain certified systems, and some should not be filled at all.
For regulations, in Falmouth filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Funding in England
In England, ECO4 runs to 31 December 2026 and Warm Homes: Local Grant supports low-income households through councils.

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.
