Party wall cavity insulation for Cheshunt properties
Cheshunt is among the towns we cover in Hertfordshire, alongside Hoddesdon, Potters Bar and Hertford. It is around 14 miles east of St Albans.
If a wall in Cheshunt 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 Cheshunt is usually filled in a single day from outside, with drill holes made good to match the pointing.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Much of Hertfordshire sits in the more sheltered driving-rain zones of the UK, which widens the choice of fill. Exposed elevations, coastal sites and high ground still get checked wall by wall.
On the rules side, in Cheshunt filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Funding in England

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.
What is included in Cheshunt
