Underfloor insulation for Rayleigh properties
Our Essex coverage takes in Rayleigh (SS6) and nearby South Benfleet, Wickford and Canvey Island. It is roughly 12 miles south-east of Chelmsford.
Where a Rayleigh home also has empty cavity walls, we can survey those at the same time. Small measures like this are often among the cheapest per pound saved, and they suit Rayleigh homes of every age.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Rayleigh, 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.
