Cavity wall suitability survey for Cwmbran properties
If your property is in Cwmbran or the NP44 district or nearby Pontypool, Risca and Newport, it is within our Gwent coverage. It is about 5 miles north of Newport.
Every inspection point in Cwmbran is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. The written result for your Cwmbran property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Parts of Gwent 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 the rules side, in Cwmbran filling a cavity is notifiable work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales, usually self-certified through a competent person scheme.
