01Start with your building

Pick the building, or the surface the foam goes onto.

An established unit in Widford and a distribution premises can have different working spaces beneath the roof. The first question is how your building is used and where its performance falls short.

03Why Chelmsford buildings need it

An upgrade to an existing building

Chelmsford’s industrial premises include existing units where an insulation upgrade becomes part of the original building. The roof’s present layers and adjoining walls shape the extent of that work. Its 2023 Employment Land Review found that just 23% of light and general industrial floor space and 15% of distribution floor space had been built after 2000. That dated assessment is useful background when considering existing premises. Read industrial unit and factory insulation.

04How a job runs

Photographs or a survey, a specification, then the application.

The same three stages on every HOLVEM job, in Chelmsford or anywhere else. You bring the building and what is bothering you about it; we bring the rest, in this order.

STAGE 01Show the existing layers

Send roof underside and wall views, with any records of earlier alterations. The survey or photographs guide helps organise the first information.

STAGE 02Define the improvement

Moisture checks come before specifying. If the objective includes a U-value target, we calculate the complete build-up to inform the insulation depth.

STAGE 03Confirm the treatment area

The North Weald scope included front and side walls; yours may differ. The agreed specification and available access guide the application.

05Straight answers

The questions Chelmsford building owners ask first.

Answered the way the specialist answers them on the call. A question we have not covered? Ask it when we speak. No obligation.

Can you assess a commercial building in Chelmsford?
Yes. Chelmsford enquiries are covered from our Weybridge depot. Include the age of the premises if known, its use and the specific roof, wall or soffit you want considered. Start a project brief.
What work have you completed near Chelmsford?
North Weald provides a 1049 m² industrial roof and wall installation. Epping provides 350 m² of corrugated roof underside. Each is a closed-cell application with a separately defined scope. Explore all applications for the surface involved.
Can installation be considered around an occupied Chelmsford unit?
Describe the equipment, stock and routes below the proposed work, including areas you could make available in sequence. Access needs to be considered alongside the specification before a working arrangement is agreed. Use how a job runs to prepare that discussion.
What should I check before upgrading an older Chelmsford unit?
Check the known roof construction, previous insulation and any repairs or alterations. The employment review describes the city's stock, not the condition of your own roof. Send the records you have with photographs through Start a project brief.
How soon will HOLVEM contact me about Chelmsford work?
Enquiries received before 3pm on a working day are contacted the same day; after 3pm, the next working day. If you already have drawings or a condition report, include them with your project brief.
How can I compare costs for roof and wall insulation?
The commercial spray foam cost guide provides the pricing information. Set out which surfaces are included and the improvement required, so a project quotation can follow the assessed scope rather than the size of a nearby installation.
What warranty information should I include in the enquiry?
25 year HOLVEM workmanship warranty, plus the manufacturer’s 25 year product warranty issued directly to you. Tell us if your landlord or project team has particular warranty or handover requirements. Those can be discussed with the proposed roof and wall scope before commissioning. Include them when you Start a project brief.
