Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Rawtenstall properties
Our Lancashire coverage takes in Rawtenstall (BB4) and nearby Accrington, Burnley and Darwen. It is roughly 17 miles east of Preston.
Most Rawtenstall 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. If a wall in Rawtenstall is not suitable, for example because of an undiagnosed damp patch or a very exposed gable, you are told so in writing with the reason.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Parts of Lancashire 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.
On compliance, in Rawtenstall 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.
