Cavity wall insulation removal for Guiseley properties
If your property is in Guiseley or the LS20 district or nearby Yeadon, Shipley and Bradford, it is within our West Yorkshire coverage. It is roughly 9 miles north-west of Leeds.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Guiseley properties, so you can choose who fixes them. If your Guiseley installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. West Yorkshire 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.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Guiseley, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England

If you have a guarantee
Contact your original installer first. If that does not resolve it within two months, CIGA's process applies for CIGA-guaranteed installs. Removing insulation yourself can void a guarantee, so speak to the provider before work.
