Cavity wall suitability survey for Neath properties
If your property is in Neath or the SA10 district or nearby Briton Ferry, Swansea and Gorseinon, it is within our West Glamorgan coverage. It is about 7 miles north-east of Swansea.
A survey in Neath gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound. Buyers and sellers in Neath often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Parts of West Glamorgan 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 Neath filling a cavity is notifiable work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales, usually self-certified through a competent person scheme.
