Damp investigation after cavity insulation across Herefordshire
We cover 4 towns in Herefordshire: Hereford, Leominster, Ross-on-Wye and Ledbury.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Herefordshire 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.
We never cold-call in Herefordshire or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. Damp in an insulated Herefordshire home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction.
Building Regulations in England
Filling an existing cavity wall is notifiable building work in England. Either a building notice goes to building control before the work, or the installer self-certifies it through a government-approved competent person scheme such as CIGA's CWISC scheme. The insulation used must also be suitable for the wall it goes into, which is why the survey checks construction, condition and exposure first.
