Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Droitwich properties
Droitwich sits in Worcestershire, roughly 6 miles north-east of Worcester. We work across the WR9 district, including nearby Bromsgrove, Worcester and Stourport-on-Severn.
If your Droitwich installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work. Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Droitwich properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Worcestershire 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.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Droitwich, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

Common causes we check
Defective pointing, cracked render and porous bricks letting rain in; leaking gutters and downpipes; fill bridging the cavity where mortar droppings or debris have collected; ground levels above the damp-proof course; and condensation from cooking, drying clothes and too little ventilation.
