Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Manchester properties
We cover Manchester and the M2 postcode district, including nearby Salford, Failsworth and Droylsden. Manchester is one of the main towns we cover in Greater Manchester.
Most Manchester 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. If a wall in Manchester 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.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Greater Manchester 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.
On compliance, in Manchester 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.
