Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Potters Bar properties
Potters Bar is among the towns we cover in Hertfordshire, alongside Borehamwood, Hatfield and Cheshunt. It is around 7 miles south-east of St Albans.
For semi-detached and terraced homes in Potters Bar, cavity barriers are fitted where your wall meets your neighbour's so the fill stays on your side. Potters Bar properties with rendered or painted walls get a closer look at the outer finish, because cracked render can let rain behind it.
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.
For regulations, in Potters Bar filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

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.
