Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Lytham St Annes properties
Our Lancashire coverage takes in Lytham St Annes (FY8) and nearby Blackpool, Thornton-Cleveleys and Preston. It is around 12 miles west of Preston.
If your Lytham St Annes installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work. Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Lytham St Annes properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Parts of Lancashire face some of the heaviest wind-driven rain in the UK, especially exposed coastal and upland sites. Here the survey is stricter: some walls suit only certain certified systems, and some should not be filled at all.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Lytham St Annes, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England
