Cavity wall suitability survey for Seaford properties
Seaford is among the towns we cover in East Sussex, alongside Rottingdean, Eastbourne and Hailsham. It is roughly 11 miles east of Brighton.
The written result for your Seaford property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. A survey in Seaford gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. East Sussex 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, in Seaford 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.
