Party wall cavity insulation for Ashton in Makerfield properties
Ashton in Makerfield is among the towns we cover in Greater Manchester, alongside Wigan, Leigh and Westhoughton. It is around 17 miles west of Manchester.
For semi-detached and terraced homes in Ashton in Makerfield, cavity barriers are fitted where your wall meets your neighbour's so the fill stays on your side. Where an Ashton in Makerfield property has an extension or a conservatory, we check how the old and new walls meet, because that junction is often missed.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Greater Manchester 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.
As for paperwork, in Ashton in Makerfield 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.
