Bonded polystyrene bead insulation for Thornaby-on-Tees properties
Thornaby-on-Tees sits in County Durham, about 20 miles south-east of Durham. We work across the TS17 district, including nearby Stockton-on-Tees, Billingham and Darlington.
A suitable wall in Thornaby-on-Tees is usually filled in a single day from outside, with drill holes made good to match the pointing. If a wall in Thornaby-on-Tees 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.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. County Durham 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.
On compliance, in Thornaby-on-Tees filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

What to know before you choose beads
Polystyrene is combustible, so beads are not the right choice for every building; height, use and nearby openings matter, and the system certificate sets the limits. PVC-sheathed cables in the cavity should be sleeved or kept out of contact with the beads where the certificate requires it. We check both at survey.
