Existing insulation and guarantee check for Staines properties
If your property is in Staines or the TW18 district or nearby Egham, Sunbury-on-Thames and Walton-on-Thames, it is within our Surrey coverage. It is about 14 miles north of Guildford.
The written result for your Staines property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. A survey in Staines gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Much of Surrey 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 the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Staines, 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.
