Party wall cavity insulation for St Austell properties
If your property is in St Austell or the PL25 district or nearby Bodmin, Truro and Newquay, it is within our Cornwall coverage. It is roughly 14 miles north-east of Truro.
For semi-detached and terraced homes in St Austell, cavity barriers are fitted where your wall meets your neighbour's so the fill stays on your side. St Austell properties with rendered or painted walls get a closer look at the outer finish, because cracked render can let rain behind it.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Parts of Cornwall 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 compliance, in St Austell 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.
