Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Stalybridge properties
Stalybridge sits in Greater Manchester, about 7 miles east of Manchester. We work across the SK15 district, including nearby Dukinfield, Ashton-under-Lyne and Hyde.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Stalybridge properties, so you can choose who fixes them. Where a Stalybridge 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.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Greater Manchester 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 compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Stalybridge, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
