Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Farnborough properties
We cover Farnborough and the GU14 postcode district, including nearby Aldershot, Fleet and Yateley. It is around 39 miles north-east of Southampton.
We never cold-call in Farnborough or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Farnborough properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Hampshire 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Farnborough, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
