Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Ely properties
We cover Ely and the CB6 postcode district, including nearby Newmarket, March and Cambridge. It is around 15 miles north-east of Cambridge.
If your Ely installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work. We never cold-call in Ely or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Much of Cambridgeshire 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.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Ely, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
