Newcastle-under-Lyme has the same solid-wall terrace problem as the wider Potteries area — older housing stock, no cavity, and nowhere for damp to go. We're your local CORKSOL approved applicator, covering the town and surrounding villages.
The housing in Silverdale, Knutton, Chesterton and Porthill shares its roots with Stoke-on-Trent's Potteries heritage — solid brick terraces built for mining and pottery workers, with no cavity walls and decades of moisture working through the fabric. Modern insulation methods weren't designed for this. Spray cork was.
Much of Newcastle's residential housing in Silverdale, Knutton and May Bank was built between 1880 and 1940 as solid-brick single-leaf construction. There's no cavity to fill, so cavity wall insulation isn't an option. Spray cork is applied directly to the wall and fixes the problem at source.
Cold external walls are the root cause of condensation and black mould in most Newcastle properties. When warm air meets a cold wall, moisture deposits on the surface and mould grows. Spray cork warms the wall above the dew point — condensation stops forming entirely.
Terraced living in Silverdale and Chesterton means shared party walls. Cork naturally absorbs sound — it's one of the best natural acoustic dampeners available. Spray cork on party walls noticeably reduces the noise coming through from next door.
