Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Hereford properties
Hereford sits in Herefordshire. We work across the HR1 district, including nearby Ledbury, Ross-on-Wye and Leominster.
Where a Hereford property has an extension or a conservatory, we check how the old and new walls meet, because that junction is often missed. Hereford properties with rendered or painted walls get a closer look at the outer finish, because cracked render can let rain behind it.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Herefordshire 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 the rules side, in Hereford filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Funding in England

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.
