Cavity wall insulation removal for Worcester properties
We cover Worcester and the WR1 postcode district, including nearby Droitwich, Great Malvern and Stourport-on-Severn. Worcester is one of the main towns we cover in Worcestershire.
If your Worcester installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work. Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Worcester properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Worcestershire 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 the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Worcester, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

Should I remove my cavity wall insulation?
Not always. Welsh Government guidance makes the point that extraction is not always the right remedy. Damp can come from blocked gutters, failed pointing, bridged damp-proof courses or condensation, none of which removal fixes. We start with a damp investigation and borescope checks, then recommend removal only where the fill itself is the problem.
