Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Aberdare properties
Our Mid Glamorgan coverage takes in Aberdare (CF44) and nearby Rhondda, Merthyr Tydfil and Tonypandy. It is roughly 16 miles north of Bridgend.
Where an Aberdare 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 Aberdare installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Parts of Mid Glamorgan 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 Aberdare, filling a cavity is notifiable work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales, usually self-certified through a competent person scheme.
