Underfloor insulation for Torquay properties
We cover Torquay and the TQ1 postcode district, including nearby Paignton, Newton Abbot and Exmouth. It is roughly 18 miles south of Exeter.
Small measures like this are often among the cheapest per pound saved, and they suit Torquay homes of every age. Where a Torquay home also has empty cavity walls, we can survey those at the same time.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Torquay, 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.
