Party wall cavity insulation for Eastbourne properties
If your property is in Eastbourne or the BN21 district or nearby Hailsham, Seaford and Bexhill-on-Sea, it is within our East Sussex coverage. It is about 19 miles east of Brighton.
Where an Eastbourne property has an extension or a conservatory, we check how the old and new walls meet, because that junction is often missed. If a wall in Eastbourne 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.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. 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 Eastbourne 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.
