Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Stafford properties
We cover Stafford and the ST16 postcode district, including nearby Rugeley, Cannock and Burntwood. It is about 14 miles south of Stoke-on-Trent.
We never cold-call in Stafford or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Stafford properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Staffordshire 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 Stafford, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
