Cavity wall suitability survey for Chichester properties
We cover Chichester and the PO19 postcode district, including nearby Bognor Regis, Littlehampton and Worthing. It is roughly 32 miles south-west of Crawley.
Buyers and sellers in Chichester often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls. A survey in Chichester gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. West Sussex 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 Chichester 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.
