Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Plymstock properties
We cover Plymstock and the PL9 postcode district, including nearby Plymouth, Paignton and Newton Abbot. It is roughly 35 miles south-west of Exeter.
Most Plymstock houses built from the 1920s onwards have cavity walls, but the survey still checks each one: cavity width, debris, the condition of the brickwork and how exposed each wall is. Where a Plymstock property has an extension or a conservatory, we check how the old and new walls meet, because that junction is often missed.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Parts of Devon 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.
As for paperwork, in Plymstock 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.
