Cavity wall suitability survey for Keighley properties
Our West Yorkshire coverage takes in Keighley (BD21) and nearby Shipley, Guiseley and Bradford. It is around 16 miles west of Leeds.
The written result for your Keighley property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. Where a Keighley wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. West Yorkshire 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 Keighley 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.

What the surveyor checks
Wall construction and thickness at window reveals; cavity width and debris with a borescope; brickwork, pointing, render, sills, gutters and downpipes; signs of damp inside and out; air bricks and flues; joins with neighbours and extensions; and the exposure of each elevation to wind-driven rain.
