Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Runcorn properties
Our Cheshire coverage takes in Runcorn (WA7) and nearby Widnes, Warrington and Ellesmere Port Town. It is roughly 12 miles north-east of Chester.
We never cold-call in Runcorn or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. Damp in an insulated Runcorn home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Cheshire 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, if cavity wall insulation follows in Runcorn, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England
