Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Hitchin properties
If your property is in Hitchin or the SG6 district or nearby Letchworth Garden City, Stevenage and Harpenden, it is within our Hertfordshire coverage. It is roughly 14 miles north of St Albans.
Where a Hitchin property has an extension or a conservatory, we check how the old and new walls meet, because that junction is often missed. Hitchin properties with rendered or painted walls get a closer look at the outer finish, because cracked render can let rain behind it.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Much of Hertfordshire 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.
As for paperwork, in Hitchin 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.
