Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Paignton properties
If your property is in Paignton or the TQ3 district or nearby Torquay, Newton Abbot and Exmouth, it is within our Devon coverage. It is around 20 miles south of Exeter.
We never cold-call in Paignton or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. Damp in an insulated Paignton home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Parts of Devon 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 Paignton, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
