Existing insulation and guarantee check for Waterlooville properties
We cover Waterlooville and the PO7 postcode district, including nearby Havant, Portsmouth and Fareham. It is about 16 miles east of Southampton.
Every inspection point in Waterlooville is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. Buyers and sellers in Waterlooville often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Hampshire 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Waterlooville, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
