Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Briton Ferry properties
If your property is in Briton Ferry or the SA12 district or nearby Neath, Swansea and Gorseinon, it is within our West Glamorgan coverage. It is around 6 miles east of Swansea.
Where a Briton Ferry 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. Damp in an insulated Briton Ferry home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Parts of West Glamorgan face some of the heaviest wind-driven rain in the UK, especially exposed coastal and upland sites. Here the survey is stricter: some walls suit only certain certified systems, and some should not be filled at all.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Briton Ferry, filling a cavity is notifiable work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales, usually self-certified through a competent person scheme.
