Cavity wall suitability survey for Swanley properties
We cover Swanley and the BR8 postcode district, including nearby Dartford, Sevenoaks and Gravesend. It is about 17 miles north-west of Maidstone.
Every inspection point in Swanley is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. A survey in Swanley 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 Swanley 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.
