Underfloor insulation for Grays properties
Grays sits in Essex, around 19 miles south of Chelmsford. We work across the RM17 district, including nearby South Ockendon, Stanford-le-Hope and Basildon.
We check ventilation as carefully as insulation in Grays homes, because both matter for keeping a house dry. Where a Grays home also has empty cavity walls, we can survey those at the same time.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Grays, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Funding in England

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.
