Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Risca properties
We cover Risca and the NP11 postcode district, including nearby Newport, Cwmbran and Caerphilly. It is roughly 4 miles west of Newport.
A suitable wall in Risca is usually filled in a single day from outside, with drill holes made good to match the pointing. Risca properties with rendered or painted walls get a closer look at the outer finish, because cracked render can let rain behind it.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. 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.
As for paperwork, in Risca filling a cavity is notifiable work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales, usually self-certified through a competent person scheme.

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.
