Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Littlehampton properties
We cover Littlehampton and the BN17 postcode district, including nearby Bognor Regis, Worthing and Chichester. It is about 26 miles south-west of Crawley.
If your Littlehampton installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work. Where a Littlehampton 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.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Littlehampton, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
