Cavity insulation top-up for Catford properties
If your property is in Catford or the SE6 district or nearby Blackheath, Greenwich and Beckenham, it is within our Greater London coverage. It is roughly 6 miles south-east of London.
Most Catford houses built from the 1920s onwards have cavity walls, but the survey still checks each one: cavity width, debris, the condition of the brickwork and how exposed each wall is. If a wall in Catford is not suitable, for example because of an undiagnosed damp patch or a very exposed gable, you are told so in writing with the reason.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. 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.
For regulations, in Catford filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

When a top-up is not enough
If the existing fill is wet, contaminated with debris or breaking down, adding more on top can make things worse. In that case we tell you the honest option, which may be partial or full removal and refill.
