Underfloor insulation for Bishop Auckland properties
Our County Durham coverage takes in Bishop Auckland (DL14) and nearby Newton Aycliffe, Durham and Darlington. It is about 9 miles south-west of Durham.
In Bishop Auckland homes this is often done on the same visit as a cavity fill, which saves a second trip. Small measures like this are often among the cheapest per pound saved, and they suit Bishop Auckland homes of every age.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Bishop Auckland, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

Keeping the void ventilated
Air bricks under a suspended floor must stay clear so the timbers stay dry. Insulation goes between the joists, not across the void, and gaps at skirtings are sealed to stop draughts.
