Cavity Extraction has won the Lancashire Business View Award at the Red Rose Awards 2025, which took place on 13 March.
According to a statement, the Red Rose Awards celebrates the achievements of the region’s most innovative and influential companies. The Lancashire Business View Award recognises outstanding businesses making a significant impact in their industry, it added.
Cavity Extraction removes defective insulation that can lead to persistent damp, mould and structural damage. By returning properties to their original state, the company said it is ensuring healthier living conditions for countless families.
Damian Mercer, managing director of Cavity Extraction, said: “This recognition highlights the vital work we do in helping homeowners reclaim their properties from the damaging effects of failed insulation. Too many people are forced to live in unhealthy conditions and we are committed to providing them with a lasting solution.
“Since launching in 2014 I am fortunate to say that the business has gone from strength to strength and in the last 12 months in particular it has really sky rocketed, as the work of our highly qualified and experienced team has built us a solid reputation and loyal customer base with some of the country’s biggest contractors.”
Damian noted that he is also spearheading a national movement to address the issue at a legislative level. Through meetings with MPs and lobbying Parliament, he said he is raising awareness and calling for legal reforms to protect homeowners from substandard cavity wall insulation installations.
He added: “We need to ensure that homeowners are not left to suffer due to poor industry practices. By bringing this issue to the forefront of policy discussions, we hope to implement positive changes that will prevent this from happening in the future.”
