Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Frome properties
If your property is in Frome or the BA11 district or nearby Bath, Nailsea and Yeovil, it is within our Somerset coverage. It is around 37 miles north-east of Taunton.
We never cold-call in Frome or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. Damp in an insulated Frome home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Somerset 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.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Frome, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England
