Party wall cavity insulation for Bury properties
If your property is in Bury or the BL9 district or nearby Radcliffe, Heywood and Whitefield, it is within our Greater Manchester coverage. It is about 9 miles north of Manchester.
If a wall in Bury 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. A suitable wall in Bury is usually filled in a single day from outside, with drill holes made good to match the pointing.
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.
On compliance, in Bury filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Funding in England

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.
