Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Wallasey properties
We cover Wallasey and the CH45 postcode district, including nearby Birkenhead, Bootle and Liverpool. It is about 4 miles west of Liverpool.
If your Wallasey installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work. We never cold-call in Wallasey or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Merseyside 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.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Wallasey, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
