Social housing and estate programmes for Kettering properties
We cover Kettering and the NN16 postcode district, including nearby Wellingborough, Corby and Rushden. It is roughly 12 miles north-east of Northampton.
For commercial buildings in Kettering, the survey also considers building use and fire requirements before a material is specified. For landlords and managing agents in Kettering, we survey in batches and return a result sheet and fixed price per address.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Much of Northamptonshire 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.
On compliance, in Kettering filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Funding in England

Quality after ECO
The National Audit Office's October 2025 report found serious failings in some government-funded installs. We work survey-first, record every stage, and name the installer and guarantee on each order.
