Social housing and estate programmes across Cheshire
We cover 11 towns in Cheshire, including Warrington, Chester, Crewe, Ellesmere Port Town, Widnes and more.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Cheshire 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.
For commercial buildings in Cheshire, the survey also considers building use and fire requirements before a material is specified. Work on Cheshire rented homes and blocks is booked around tenants and residents, with access arranged through your agent if you prefer.
Building Regulations in England
Filling an existing cavity wall is notifiable building work in England. Either a building notice goes to building control before the work, or the installer self-certifies it through a government-approved competent person scheme such as CIGA's CWISC scheme. The insulation used must also be suitable for the wall it goes into, which is why the survey checks construction, condition and exposure first.
Funding in England
- ECO4, the energy-supplier scheme, has been extended to 31 December 2026 and government has said there will be no successor supplier obligation.
- The Great British Insulation Scheme closed as planned on 31 March 2026.
- Warm Homes: Local Grant supports low-income households in England through councils, and the January 2026 Warm Homes Plan sets out fully funded upgrades for low-income homes, with more detail still being published.

Quality after ECO
