If your High Wycombe installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work. Damp in an insulated High Wycombe home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Much of Buckinghamshire 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, if cavity wall insulation follows in High Wycombe, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

How extraction works
Bricks are carefully removed in a line near the base and at intervals higher up where needed. The fill is broken up and drawn out with an extraction vacuum, the cavity is cleared and checked with a camera, and the bricks are rebuilt in matching mortar. Extracted material is bagged and disposed of properly.
