Existing insulation and guarantee check for Bexhill-on-Sea properties
Bexhill-on-Sea sits in East Sussex, about 27 miles east of Brighton. We work across the TN40 district, including nearby Hastings, Hailsham and Eastbourne.
Buyers and sellers in Bexhill-on-Sea often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls. Every inspection point in Bexhill-on-Sea is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. East Sussex 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 Bexhill-on-Sea, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England

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.
