Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Barrow in Furness properties
Barrow in Furness is among the towns we cover in Cumbria, alongside Kendal, Whitehaven and Workington.
If a wall in Barrow in Furness 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. Barrow in Furness properties with rendered or painted walls get a closer look at the outer finish, because cracked render can let rain behind it.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Parts of Cumbria 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.
On compliance, in Barrow in Furness filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

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.
