Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Tamworth properties
Tamworth sits in Staffordshire, roughly 33 miles south-east of Stoke-on-Trent. We work across the B77 district, including nearby Lichfield, Burntwood and Burton upon Trent.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Tamworth properties, so you can choose who fixes them. If your Tamworth installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Tamworth, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
