Existing insulation and guarantee check for Bangor properties
Bangor is among the towns we cover in Gwynedd, alongside Caernarfon, Porthmadog and Holyhead. Bangor is one of the main towns we cover in Gwynedd.
Every inspection point in Bangor is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. The written result for your Bangor property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Parts of Gwynedd 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.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Bangor, 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.
