The work we take on

Cavity Reset Insulation Removal does one thing: it takes failed cavity wall insulation out of houses across mainland England, Scotland and Wales and puts the wall back to how it was built. The surveyor who looks at your wall writes the quote, and the quote says what was found, what we recommend and what it would cost.

Why this work is needed

Cavity wall insulation was installed in very large numbers under energy-saving schemes, often in 50mm cavities on exposed walls. The building guidance divides the UK into four zones for wind-driven rain, and the wetter western and northern parts of Britain, including most of Wales, the south-west, the north-west and western Scotland, sit in the higher zones, where the guidance restricts filled 50mm cavities.

03

What the name means

A reset is the wall put back to how it was built: two leaves, a clear cavity, and rain running down the inside of the outer leaf and out. That is what extraction does.

04

How we go about it

Survey before quotation, every time, because the price depends on what is in the wall. Evidence in the quote: borescope stills, moisture readings, thermal images, photographs of the outside.

05

What we do not do

We take the failed fill out. If you want the cavity refilled, we put thermal bead in as part of the same job. If you want it left clear, we leave it clear. We are not registered with the Cavity Insulation Guarantee Agency and do not issue guarantees under any scheme; if your insulation has a CIGA guarantee we will tell you how to use it before we quote.

What happens next

  • A free survey first We check the wall inside and out and look into the cavity with a small camera. Then you get a fixed price in writing.
  • The insulation comes out Bricks come out at the base of the wall, the old fill is drawn out, and the bricks go back in, pointed to match.
  • A completion certificate You receive a completion certificate when the work is done. If a lender or surveyor has flagged a filled cavity, that certificate is what you show them.
