Cavity wall suitability survey for Ilford properties
Ilford sits in Greater London, around 9 miles east of London. We work across the IG1 district, including nearby Barking, Becontree and Leytonstone.
Every inspection point in Ilford is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. A survey in Ilford gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Much of Greater London 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, in Ilford 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.
