Buyers and sellers in Sutton in Ashfield often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls. Where a Sutton in Ashfield wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Much of Nottinghamshire 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.
