Underfloor insulation for Colchester properties
We cover Colchester and the CO1 postcode district, including nearby Clacton-on-Sea, Witham and Maldon. It is around 21 miles north-east of Chelmsford.
Small measures like this are often among the cheapest per pound saved, and they suit Colchester homes of every age. Where a Colchester home also has empty cavity walls, we can survey those at the same time.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Colchester, 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.
