Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Barnet properties
Barnet is among the towns we cover in Greater London, alongside Hadley Wood, Finchley and Muswell Hill. It is around 11 miles north of London.
For semi-detached and terraced homes in Barnet, cavity barriers are fitted where your wall meets your neighbour's so the fill stays on your side. Most Barnet 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.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Much of Greater London sits in the more sheltered driving-rain zones of the UK, which widens the choice of fill. Exposed elevations, coastal sites and high ground still get checked wall by wall.
In terms of approvals, in Barnet 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.
