Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Caerphilly properties
Our Gwent coverage takes in Caerphilly (CF83) and nearby Risca, Newport and Cwmbran. It is about 9 miles west of Newport.
Where a Caerphilly 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. If your Caerphilly installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Parts of Gwent face some of the heaviest wind-driven rain in the UK, especially exposed coastal and upland sites. Here the survey is stricter: some walls suit only certain certified systems, and some should not be filled at all.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Caerphilly, filling a cavity is notifiable work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales, usually self-certified through a competent person scheme.
