Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Bury St Edmunds properties
We cover Bury St Edmunds and the IP33 postcode district, including nearby Stowmarket, Sudbury and Haverhill. It is around 23 miles north-west of Ipswich.
We never cold-call in Bury St Edmunds or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. Where a Bury St Edmunds 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.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Much of Suffolk sits in the more sheltered driving-rain zones of the UK, which widens the choice of fill. Exposed elevations, coastal sites and high ground still get checked wall by wall.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Bury St Edmunds, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
