Underfloor insulation for Brighouse properties
We cover Brighouse and the HD6 postcode district, including nearby Halifax, Cleckheaton and Huddersfield. It is about 12 miles south-west of Leeds.
In Brighouse homes this is often done on the same visit as a cavity fill, which saves a second trip. Small measures like this are often among the cheapest per pound saved, and they suit Brighouse homes of every age.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Brighouse, 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.
