Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Camborne properties
Camborne sits in Cornwall, around 11 miles west of Truro. We work across the TR14 district, including nearby Redruth, Falmouth and Truro.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Camborne properties, so you can choose who fixes them. If your Camborne installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Parts of Cornwall 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Camborne, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
