Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Deal properties
Deal sits in Kent, around 39 miles east of Maidstone. We work across the CT14 district, including nearby Dover, Ramsgate and Broadstairs.
We never cold-call in Deal or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. Damp in an insulated Deal home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. 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.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Deal, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England
Filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification if insulation work follows.
