Existing insulation and guarantee check for Poole properties

Our Dorset coverage takes in Poole (BH15) and nearby Bournemouth, Christchurch and Weymouth. It is about 4 miles west of Bournemouth.

A survey in Poole gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound. Where a Poole wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random.

Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Dorset 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.

As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Poole, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

Rules in England

Many cavity fills carry a 25-year guarantee from the Cavity Insulation Guarantee Agency (CIGA). CIGA can confirm whether a property is covered and can issue a duplicate guarantee for a fee; at the time of writing that fee is £60 including VAT, and proof of ownership is required.
