Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Sutton properties
Sutton is among the towns we cover in Greater London, alongside Carshalton, Wallington and Coulsdon. It is about 11 miles south of London.
Damp in an insulated Sutton 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 Sutton properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
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.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Sutton, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
