Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Cirencester properties
Cirencester sits in Gloucestershire, around 16 miles south-east of Gloucester. We work across the GL7 district, including nearby Stroud, Cheltenham and Gloucester.
We never cold-call in Cirencester or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. Damp in an insulated Cirencester home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Gloucestershire 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.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Cirencester, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
