Existing insulation and guarantee check for Melton Mowbray properties
If your property is in Melton Mowbray or the LE13 district or nearby Loughborough, Leicester and Oadby, it is within our Leicestershire coverage. It is about 14 miles north-east of Leicester.
Where a Melton Mowbray wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random. Every inspection point in Melton Mowbray is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Much of Leicestershire 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.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Melton Mowbray, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
