Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Woking properties
Woking is among the towns we cover in Surrey, alongside Guildford, Egham and Walton-on-Thames. It is about 6 miles north of Guildford.
Where a Woking 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. We never cold-call in Woking or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Much of Surrey 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.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Woking, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
