Damp investigation after cavity insulation across West Sussex
We cover 9 towns in West Sussex, including Crawley, Worthing, Bognor Regis, Littlehampton, Horsham and more.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. West Sussex 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.
Where a West Sussex 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. If your West Sussex installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Building Regulations in England
Filling an existing cavity wall is notifiable building work in England. Either a building notice goes to building control before the work, or the installer self-certifies it through a government-approved competent person scheme such as CIGA's CWISC scheme. The insulation used must also be suitable for the wall it goes into, which is why the survey checks construction, condition and exposure first.
