Existing insulation and guarantee check for Wellington properties
If your property is in Wellington or the TF1 district or nearby Telford and Shrewsbury, it is within our Shropshire coverage. It is around 10 miles east of Shrewsbury.
Every inspection point in Wellington is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. A survey in Wellington gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Shropshire 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.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Wellington, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England
Filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification if insulation work follows.

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.
