Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Bournemouth properties
Our Dorset coverage takes in Bournemouth (BH2) and nearby Christchurch and Poole. Bournemouth is one of the main towns we cover in Dorset.
A suitable wall in Bournemouth is usually filled in a single day from outside, with drill holes made good to match the pointing. If a wall in Bournemouth 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.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Dorset 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.
For regulations, in Bournemouth 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.
