Existing insulation and guarantee check for Cleethorpes properties
Cleethorpes sits in Lincolnshire, about 31 miles north-east of Lincoln. We work across the DN35 district, including nearby Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Lincoln.
Buyers and sellers in Cleethorpes often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls. Every inspection point in Cleethorpes is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Much of Lincolnshire 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.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Cleethorpes, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

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.
