What we provide

Stock surveys with a clear result per address, fixed rates per archetype, resident liaison, photo evidence before and after, and remediation of failed historic fills where diagnosis shows the fill is the problem.

Quality after ECO

Rules and funding by nation

The building regulations route and the funding schemes differ between England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The local pages for your area explain the rules where you are; in short:

  • England: Filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
  • Wales: Filling a cavity is notifiable work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales, usually self-certified through a competent person scheme.
  • Scotland: No building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
  • Northern Ireland: Inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.
