Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Cwmbran properties
Cwmbran is among the towns we cover in Gwent, alongside Pontypool, Risca and Newport. It is around 5 miles north of Newport.
If a wall in Cwmbran 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. A suitable wall in Cwmbran is usually filled in a single day from outside, with drill holes made good to match the pointing.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Parts of Gwent 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.
On the rules side, in Cwmbran filling a cavity is notifiable work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales, usually self-certified through a competent person scheme.
