Bonded polystyrene bead insulation for Boston properties
Boston is among the towns we cover in Lincolnshire, alongside Spalding and Skegness. It is about 27 miles south-east of Lincoln.
A suitable wall in Boston is usually filled in a single day from outside, with drill holes made good to match the pointing. Most Boston 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.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Much of Lincolnshire 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 Boston filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Funding in England

Where bonded beads make sense
Beads behave a little like a liquid as they go in, so they fill narrow and irregular cavities more evenly than fibre. The binder stops them pouring out if a brick is removed later. Some certified bead systems are approved for higher driving-rain exposure than fibre systems, which is why they are common on western and coastal elevations.
