Party wall cavity insulation for Pontypridd properties
Our Mid Glamorgan coverage takes in Pontypridd (CF37) and nearby Tonypandy, Rhondda and Aberdare. It is roughly 12 miles north-east of Bridgend.
A suitable wall in Pontypridd is usually filled in a single day from outside, with drill holes made good to match the pointing. Most Pontypridd houses built from the 1920s onwards have cavity walls, but the survey still checks each one: cavity width, debris, the condition of the brickwork and how exposed each wall is.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Parts of Mid Glamorgan face some of the heaviest wind-driven rain in the UK, especially exposed coastal and upland sites. Here the survey is stricter: some walls suit only certain certified systems, and some should not be filled at all.
As for paperwork, in Pontypridd filling a cavity is notifiable work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales, usually self-certified through a competent person scheme.

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.
