• I am about to spend a decent chunk of change on cavity wall insulation.
    1970's property with nothing at all in the cavity.
    Getting quotes for poly bead and adhesive fill

    There are a few risks I am worried about

    1. Damp and condensation
    2. All the beads escaping when we replace the windows, for example
    3. Having zero recourse should either of these two things happen

    Has anyone appointed an insulation contractor to do cavity wall insulation for them?

    What sort of accreditations should I be looking for and what certificates do I or building control need?

  • We had the old beanbag filling done last year by Max Energy. We’re in Hackney. Was organised by the ASHP company so no idea about the procurement process (apart from when I turned away the first lot they sent cause they wanted to do poly fluff) but they seemed good and were much cheaper than any quotes I got myself.

    We’d already done the windows but there was a few weeks where I’d find little carbon covered beans in odd places. Not a bad way of finding your air leaks tbh. Some will escape when windows are are done but you can always top up around the edges with expanding foam.
