Existing insulation and guarantee check for Aberystwyth properties
If your property is in Aberystwyth or the SY23 district or nearby Carmarthen and Ammanford, it is within our Dyfed coverage. It is roughly 38 miles north of Carmarthen.
Where an Aberystwyth wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random. Buyers and sellers in Aberystwyth often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Parts of Dyfed 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Aberystwyth, filling a cavity is notifiable work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales, usually self-certified through a competent person scheme.

Tracing a guarantee
