Party wall cavity insulation for Crowborough properties
Our East Sussex coverage takes in Crowborough (TN6) and nearby Hailsham, Bexhill-on-Sea and Rottingdean. It is roughly 20 miles north-east of Brighton.
If a wall in Crowborough 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. For semi-detached and terraced homes in Crowborough, cavity barriers are fitted where your wall meets your neighbour's so the fill stays on your side.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. East Sussex 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.
On the rules side, in Crowborough 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.
