Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Ross-on-Wye properties
If your property is in Ross-on-Wye or the HR9 district or nearby Ledbury, Hereford and Leominster, it is within our Herefordshire coverage. It is around 12 miles south-east of Hereford.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Ross-on-Wye properties, so you can choose who fixes them. Damp in an insulated Ross-on-Wye home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. 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.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Ross-on-Wye, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
