Existing insulation and guarantee check for Burgess Hill properties
If your property is in Burgess Hill or the RH15 district or nearby Haywards Heath, Crawley and Horsham, it is within our West Sussex coverage. It is roughly 11 miles south of Crawley.
Where a Burgess Hill wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random. A survey in Burgess Hill gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. West Sussex 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.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Burgess Hill, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England

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.
