Cavity wall suitability survey for Totton properties
If your property is in Totton or the SO40 district or nearby Southampton, Hythe and Eastleigh, it is within our Hampshire coverage. It is about 4 miles west of Southampton.
Every inspection point in Totton is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. Where a Totton wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Hampshire 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 Totton 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.
