“Excellent service throughout. Ashton came out to look at an issue raised on a part-exchange survey and, rather than recommend expensive remediation, told me honestly there was nothing wrong with the wall. Great to have an honest discussion.”

Why cavity wall insulation fails in Bournemouth
Bournemouth’s coastal weather and its large stock of 1950s–1970s cavity-built homes make failed insulation one of the most common causes of damp we find.
Wind-driven rain off the bay
Houses on the cliff-top roads of Southbourne and Boscombe take rain straight off the sea. Once it soaks the outer brick, insulation fibres carry it across to the inner wall.
Post-war estates filled in bulk
Many homes in Kinson, West Howe and Moordown were insulated under past grant schemes, sometimes without checking whether the wall was exposed or the cavity was clean.
Debris and slumped fill
Mortar snots and builders’ rubble at the base of the cavity, or wool that has slumped over time, leave bridges and cold spots where mould forms.
How we remove cavity wall insulation in Bournemouth
1. Borescope survey
We drill a small inspection hole, look inside the cavity with a camera and take moisture readings to prove whether the insulation is wet, slumped or bridging the cavity.
2. Extract and clear
The old fill is broken up and vacuumed out into sealed bags, then the cavity is checked again on camera — including the bottom, where rubble and debris collect.
3. Fix the cause and make good
We repair the pointing, render or gutters that let water in, fill the drill holes with matched mortar and, only where the wall is suitable, re-insulate with bonded beads.

Everything you might be wondering
Common signs are damp patches or mould on outside walls that started after the insulation went in, cold spots, staining at a consistent height, and damp below window sills. A borescope survey confirms it by looking inside the cavity.
Yes. We extract insulation from houses, bungalows and low-rise flats. For flats we may need the freeholder’s permission, which our report can support.
Only where the wall is suitable. On exposed elevations it can be better to leave the cavity clear. Where re-insulation is right, we use bonded polystyrene beads that do not carry water across the cavity.
A typical semi-detached house takes one to three days, depending on the type of insulation and how much debris is in the cavity.
No. Your initial property survey is completely complimentary and carried out with no obligation. A specialist visits your property, carries out a thorough assessment, and gives you clear, honest recommendations in plain English.
