Cavity wall suitability survey for Newcastle upon Tyne properties
If your property is in Newcastle upon Tyne or the NE1 district or nearby Gateshead, Wallsend and Hebburn, it is within our Tyne and Wear coverage. Newcastle upon Tyne is one of the main towns we cover in Tyne and Wear.
A survey in Newcastle upon Tyne gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound. The written result for your Newcastle upon Tyne property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Tyne and Wear 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.
In terms of approvals, in Newcastle upon Tyne 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.
