Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Dronfield properties
We cover Dronfield and the S18 postcode district, including nearby Chesterfield, Staveley and Alfreton. It is about 26 miles north of Derby.
If a wall in Dronfield 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 Dronfield is usually filled in a single day from outside, with drill holes made good to match the pointing.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Derbyshire 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 the rules side, in Dronfield 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.
