Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Newburn properties
Our Tyne and Wear coverage takes in Newburn (NE15) and nearby Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead and Wallsend. It is roughly 5 miles west of Newcastle upon Tyne.
Most Newburn 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. A suitable wall in Newburn is usually filled in a single day from outside, with drill holes made good to match the pointing.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Tyne and Wear has a mix of moderate and more exposed sites. Hilltop, coastal and west-facing walls take the brunt of wind-driven rain, so the survey records exposure for each elevation before a material is chosen.
In terms of approvals, in Newburn 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.
