Party wall cavity insulation for Chatham properties
Chatham sits in Kent, about 8 miles north of Maidstone. We work across the ME4 district, including nearby Gillingham, Rochester and Strood.
For semi-detached and terraced homes in Chatham, cavity barriers are fitted where your wall meets your neighbour's so the fill stays on your side. A suitable wall in Chatham 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 Kent 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.
For regulations, in Chatham filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Funding in England
In England, ECO4 runs to 31 December 2026 and Warm Homes: Local Grant supports low-income households through councils.

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.
