Social housing and estate programmes for Sunderland properties
If your property is in Sunderland or the SR1 district or nearby Washington, Houghton-Le-Spring and Jarrow, it is within our Tyne and Wear coverage. It is about 11 miles south-east of Newcastle upon Tyne.
Blocks of flats in Sunderland are surveyed as a whole, because the cavity runs across every flat in the building. For commercial buildings in Sunderland, the survey also considers building use and fire requirements before a material is specified.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Tyne and Wear 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 Sunderland filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Funding in England
In England, ECO4 runs to 31 December 2026 and Warm Homes: Local Grant supports low-income households through councils.

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.
