Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Neath properties
Our West Glamorgan coverage takes in Neath (SA10) and nearby Briton Ferry, Swansea and Gorseinon. It is about 7 miles north-east of Swansea.
We never cold-call in Neath 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 Neath properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. 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.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Neath, filling a cavity is notifiable work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales, usually self-certified through a competent person scheme.
