Party wall cavity insulation in Ely

Party wall cavity insulation for Ely properties

Ely is among the towns we cover in Cambridgeshire, alongside Newmarket, March and Cambridge. It is about 15 miles north-east of Cambridge.

Where an Ely property has an extension or a conservatory, we check how the old and new walls meet, because that junction is often missed. Ely properties with rendered or painted walls get a closer look at the outer finish, because cracked render can let rain behind it.

Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Much of Cambridgeshire 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.

For regulations, in Ely filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

Why a party wall loses heat

Many semi-detached and terraced homes built with cavity separating walls have that cavity open to the loft. Air moves up the cavity and out at the top, a loss sometimes called the party wall bypass. Filling the cavity and sealing the top stops it.
