Cavity wall suitability survey for Worthing properties
Worthing is among the towns we cover in West Sussex, alongside Littlehampton, Bognor Regis and Burgess Hill. It is roughly 22 miles south of Crawley.
Buyers and sellers in Worthing often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls. Every inspection point in Worthing is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. 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 the rules side, in Worthing 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.
