Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Gorseinon properties
Our West Glamorgan coverage takes in Gorseinon (SA4) and nearby Swansea, Briton Ferry and Neath. It is about 6 miles north-west of Swansea.
If a wall in Gorseinon 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. A suitable wall in Gorseinon is usually filled in a single day from outside, with drill holes made good to match the pointing.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Parts of West 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.
On the rules side, in Gorseinon filling a cavity is notifiable work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales, usually self-certified through a competent person scheme.
Funding in Wales
In Wales, Warm Homes Nest offers free improvements to eligible low-income households, and ECO4 runs to 31 December 2026.
Sources: Welsh Government: warmer and more energy efficient homes (July 2026); GOV.UK: extending the ECO4 end date, government response.
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.
