Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Redditch properties
Redditch is among the towns we cover in Worcestershire, alongside Bromsgrove, Droitwich and Kidderminster. It is about 14 miles north-east of Worcester.
Where a Redditch property has an extension or a conservatory, we check how the old and new walls meet, because that junction is often missed. Redditch properties with rendered or painted walls get a closer look at the outer finish, because cracked render can let rain behind it.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Worcestershire 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.
For regulations, in Redditch 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.
