Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Merthyr Tydfil properties
Merthyr Tydfil is among the towns we cover in Mid Glamorgan, alongside Aberdare, Rhondda and Tonypandy. It is roughly 19 miles north-east of Bridgend.
Merthyr Tydfil properties with rendered or painted walls get a closer look at the outer finish, because cracked render can let rain behind it. If a wall in Merthyr Tydfil 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.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Parts of Mid Glamorgan 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.
For regulations, in Merthyr Tydfil filling a cavity is notifiable work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales, usually self-certified through a competent person scheme.

What we work from
Your architect's or designer's specification and the energy calculation for the job. We match the product, thickness and fixing to that spec, keep cavities clean as the walls rise, and fit cavity trays, closers and stop ends where shown so the building control inspection goes smoothly.
