Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Uppingham properties
If your property is in Uppingham or the LE15 district or nearby Oakham, it is within our Rutland coverage.
A suitable wall in Uppingham is usually filled in a single day from outside, with drill holes made good to match the pointing. If a wall in Uppingham 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.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Much of Rutland 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.
In terms of approvals, in Uppingham filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Funding in England
In England, ECO4 runs to 31 December 2026 and Warm Homes: Local Grant supports low-income households through councils.

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.
