Existing insulation and guarantee check for Carmarthen properties
We cover Carmarthen and the SA31 postcode district, including nearby Llanelli and Ammanford. Carmarthen is one of the main towns we cover in Dyfed.
Where a Carmarthen wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random. A survey in Carmarthen gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. 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 Carmarthen, 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
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.
