Cavity cleaning and debris removal for Peckham properties
We cover Peckham and the SE15 postcode district, including nearby Brixton, Greenwich and Catford. It is roughly 3 miles south-east of London.
We never cold-call in Peckham or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. Damp in an insulated Peckham home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Much of Greater London sits in the more sheltered driving-rain zones of the UK, which widens the choice of fill. Exposed elevations, coastal sites and high ground still get checked wall by wall.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Peckham, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England

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.
