Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Windsor properties
If your property is in Windsor or the SL4 district or nearby Slough, Maidenhead and Bracknell, it is within our Berkshire coverage. It is around 16 miles east of Reading.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Windsor properties, so you can choose who fixes them. We never cold-call in Windsor or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Much of Berkshire sits in the more sheltered driving-rain zones of the UK, which widens the choice of fill. Exposed elevations, coastal sites and high ground still get checked wall by wall.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Windsor, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
