Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Wallington properties
If your property is in Wallington or the SM6 district or nearby Carshalton, Sutton and South Croydon, it is within our Greater London coverage. It is roughly 10 miles south of London.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Wallington properties, so you can choose who fixes them. Where a Wallington 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.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. 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 compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Wallington, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
