Existing insulation and guarantee check for Colwyn Bay properties
If your property is in Colwyn Bay or the LL29 district or nearby Rhyl and Flint, it is within our Clwyd coverage. It is about 35 miles north-west of Wrexham.
A survey in Colwyn Bay gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound. Every inspection point in Colwyn Bay is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Parts of Clwyd 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 Colwyn Bay, filling a cavity is notifiable work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales, usually self-certified through a competent person scheme.

How to tell if a house already has cavity insulation
Look for a regular pattern of small patched holes in the mortar joints, often about a metre apart. Check the EPC, which may say 'filled cavity'. Ask the seller for a guarantee. The reliable answer is a borescope check, because patched holes can be from a fill that was later removed and EPCs are sometimes wrong.
