Bonded polystyrene bead insulation for Kidsgrove properties
If your property is in Kidsgrove or the ST7 district or nearby Newcastle under Lyme, Stoke-on-Trent and Longton, it is within our Staffordshire coverage. It is roughly 6 miles north of Stoke-on-Trent.
Most Kidsgrove 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. If a wall in Kidsgrove 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.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Staffordshire 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 the rules side, in Kidsgrove filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

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.
