Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Chester-le-Street properties
Chester-le-Street sits in County Durham, roughly 6 miles north of Durham. We work across the DH2 district, including nearby Stanley, Durham and Seaham.
If a wall in Chester-le-Street 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. A suitable wall in Chester-le-Street is usually filled in a single day from outside, with drill holes made good to match the pointing.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. County Durham 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.
On compliance, in Chester-le-Street filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
