Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Colwyn Bay properties
Colwyn Bay is among the towns we cover in Clwyd, alongside Rhyl and Flint. It is around 35 miles north-west of Wrexham.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Colwyn Bay properties, so you can choose who fixes them. If your Colwyn Bay installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Parts of Clwyd face some of the heaviest wind-driven rain in the UK, especially exposed coastal and upland sites. Here the survey is stricter: some walls suit only certain certified systems, and some should not be filled at all.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Colwyn Bay, filling a cavity is notifiable work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales, usually self-certified through a competent person scheme.
