Party wall cavity insulation for Billingham properties
If your property is in Billingham or the TS23 district or nearby Stockton-on-Tees, Thornaby-on-Tees and Hartlepool, it is within our County Durham coverage. It is about 17 miles south-east of Durham.
Most Billingham 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. If a wall in Billingham 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.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. County Durham 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 Billingham filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

What we need from you and your neighbour
The cavity is shared, so we talk you through notifying your neighbour before work. Filling is done from your side, usually through the loft. The survey confirms the wall is a cavity wall and not solid masonry, and checks for cables, flues and any gaps that would let fill escape.
