Party wall cavity insulation for Northampton properties
Northampton is among the towns we cover in Northamptonshire, alongside Wellingborough, Daventry and Rushden. Northampton is one of the main towns we cover in Northamptonshire.
Most Northampton 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. A suitable wall in Northampton 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. Much of Northamptonshire 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.
As for paperwork, in Northampton 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.
