Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Shepherds Bush properties
We cover Shepherds Bush and the W12 postcode district, including nearby Notting Hill, Chiswick and Fulham. It is roughly 4 miles west of London.
Damp in an insulated Shepherds Bush home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction. Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Shepherds Bush properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Shepherds Bush, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
