Cavity cleaning and debris removal for Clevedon properties
We cover Clevedon and the BS21 postcode district, including nearby Nailsea, Portishead and Weston-super-Mare. It is around 31 miles north of Taunton.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Clevedon properties, so you can choose who fixes them. Where a Clevedon wall does need work, bricks are lifted and rebuilt in matching mortar, and the cavity is checked with a camera before it is closed up.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Somerset has a mix of moderate and more exposed sites. Hilltop, coastal and west-facing walls take the brunt of wind-driven rain, so the survey records exposure for each elevation before a material is chosen.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Clevedon, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

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.
