Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Hoddesdon properties
We cover Hoddesdon and the EN11 postcode district, including nearby Hertford, Cheshunt and Potters Bar. It is roughly 14 miles east of St Albans.
For semi-detached and terraced homes in Hoddesdon, cavity barriers are fitted where your wall meets your neighbour's so the fill stays on your side. Most Hoddesdon 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.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. 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 Hoddesdon 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.
