FAQs

What properties are suitable for cavity wall insulation in the first place?
Ideally, any property with low to medium exposure to the elements, and cavities greater than 5cm thick.
What happens if insulation is fitted badly?
Pockets and cavities could be left within the walls, which provide the perfect opportunity for rising damp, fungal growths and condensation to form. Over time this will discolour wall coverings and cause damage to the property. It may also impact your heating bills as you spend more money attempting to ‘dry out’ your property.
How will I know if I have a cavity wall problem?
If you notice any of the following, give our team a call:

  • Walls that are cold/damp to the touch
  • A noticeable mould smell
  • Discolouration on walls
  • Small black spots on the wall
    • How much does cavity wall extraction cost?
    Cavity wall extraction starts from £600.
