Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions across Dyfed
We cover 6 towns in Dyfed, including Llanelli, Ammanford, Carmarthen, Aberystwyth, Haverfordwest and more.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Parts of Dyfed 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.
Where a Dyfed property has an extension or a conservatory, we check how the old and new walls meet, because that junction is often missed. Most Dyfed 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.
Building Regulations in Wales
In Wales, filling an existing cavity is also notifiable building work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales. A registered installer normally self-certifies it through a competent person scheme; otherwise a building notice goes to your council's building control before work starts. Welsh rules can differ from England's, so the notification route is confirmed in writing on your quote.
Funding in Wales

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.
What is included
- Batts or boards to the specified U-value
- Clean-cavity working
- Trays, closers and stop ends as drawn
- Coordination with your bricklayers
- Photo record for building control
