Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Holloway properties
If your property is in Holloway or the N7 district or nearby Highbury, Archway and Camden Town, it is within our Greater London coverage. It is roughly 3 miles north of London.
Most Holloway 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. Holloway properties with rendered or painted walls get a closer look at the outer finish, because cracked render can let rain behind it.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. 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.
On compliance, in Holloway 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.
