Cavity wall suitability survey for St Austell properties
If your property is in St Austell or the PL25 district or nearby Bodmin, Truro and Newquay, it is within our Cornwall coverage. It is roughly 14 miles north-east of Truro.
Every inspection point in St Austell is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. The written result for your St Austell property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Parts of Cornwall face some of the heaviest wind-driven rain in the UK, especially exposed coastal and upland sites. Here the survey is stricter: some walls suit only certain certified systems, and some should not be filled at all.
On compliance, in St Austell filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England
Filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification if insulation work follows.
