Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Ruislip properties
Ruislip is among the towns we cover in Greater London, alongside Northolt, Uxbridge and Harrow. It is around 14 miles west of London.
Where a Ruislip wall does need work, bricks are lifted and rebuilt in matching mortar, and the cavity is checked with a camera before it is closed up. We never cold-call in Ruislip or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Much of Greater London sits in the more sheltered driving-rain zones of the UK, which widens the choice of fill. Exposed elevations, coastal sites and high ground still get checked wall by wall.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Ruislip, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England
