Cavity cleaning and debris removal for Flint properties
Flint sits in Clwyd, about 15 miles north-west of Wrexham. We work across the CH6 district, including nearby Deeside, Buckley and Hawarden.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Flint properties, so you can choose who fixes them. Damp in an insulated Flint home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Parts of Clwyd face some of the heaviest wind-driven rain in the UK, especially exposed coastal and upland sites. Here the survey is stricter: some walls suit only certain certified systems, and some should not be filled at all.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Flint, filling a cavity is notifiable work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales, usually self-certified through a competent person scheme.

Why debris matters
A clean cavity lets water that gets through the outer leaf drain away. Debris piled at the base or caught on ties makes a bridge for that water. It is a common cause of damp low on walls and around ties, with or without insulation.
