Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Canterbury properties
If your property is in Canterbury or the CT1 district or nearby Whitstable, Herne Bay and Faversham, it is within our Kent coverage. It is about 24 miles east of Maidstone.
Where a Canterbury 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 Canterbury installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Much of Kent sits in the more sheltered driving-rain zones of the UK, which widens the choice of fill. Exposed elevations, coastal sites and high ground still get checked wall by wall.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Canterbury, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England
