Existing insulation and guarantee check for Hampton properties
If your property is in Hampton or the TW12 district or nearby Hanworth, Feltham and Surbiton, it is within our Greater London coverage. It is around 12 miles south-west of London.
Where a Hampton wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random. Every inspection point in Hampton is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Much of Greater London sits in the more sheltered driving-rain zones of the UK, which widens the choice of fill. Exposed elevations, coastal sites and high ground still get checked wall by wall.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Hampton, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

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.
