Party wall cavity insulation for Westhoughton properties
If your property is in Westhoughton or the BL5 district or nearby Atherton, Tyldesley and Leigh, it is within our Greater Manchester coverage. It is about 12 miles west of Manchester.
Where a Westhoughton 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 Westhoughton 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. 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.
For regulations, in Westhoughton 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.
