Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Workington properties
Workington sits in Cumbria, around 30 miles south-west of Carlisle. We work across the CA14 district, including nearby Whitehaven, Carlisle and Penrith.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Workington properties, so you can choose who fixes them. If your Workington installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Parts of Cumbria 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 Workington, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
