Cavity wall suitability survey for Gravesend properties
Gravesend is among the towns we cover in Kent, alongside Strood, Dartford and Rochester. It is roughly 14 miles north-west of Maidstone.
Buyers and sellers in Gravesend often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls. A survey in Gravesend gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Much of Kent 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.
On compliance, in Gravesend 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.
