Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Winsford properties
We cover Winsford and the CW7 postcode district, including nearby Northwich, Crewe and Congleton. It is roughly 16 miles east of Chester.
We never cold-call in Winsford or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. If your Winsford installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Winsford, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
