Underfloor insulation for Risca properties
Risca sits in Gwent, roughly 4 miles west of Newport. We work across the NP11 district, including nearby Newport, Cwmbran and Caerphilly.
Where a Risca home also has empty cavity walls, we can survey those at the same time. We check ventilation as carefully as insulation in Risca homes, because both matter for keeping a house dry.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Risca, filling a cavity is notifiable work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales, usually self-certified through a competent person scheme.
Funding in Wales
In Wales, Warm Homes Nest offers free improvements to eligible low-income households, and ECO4 runs to 31 December 2026.
Sources: Welsh Government: warmer and more energy efficient homes (July 2026); GOV.UK: extending the ECO4 end date, government response.
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.

- Boards relaid
