Insulation Services Across County Durham

Zest Home Insulation covers County Durham for cavity wall insulation, cavity wall removal and loft insulation. We serve homeowners, landlords and organisations across the DH, DL and SR postcode areas that fall within County Durham.

County Durham has a varied housing stock — from former pit village terraces built in the interwar period to market town properties and rural farmhouses. Many former mining communities have a significant proportion of interwar and post-war housing that is well-suited to cavity wall insulation, while older solid-stone properties are not suitable.

We assess each property individually and provide honest advice on whether cavity wall insulation is appropriate, whether existing insulation has failed and needs removing, or whether other measures would be more effective.
