Existing insulation and guarantee check for Crawley properties
We cover Crawley and the RH11 postcode district, including nearby Horsham, East Grinstead and Haywards Heath. Crawley is one of the main towns we cover in West Sussex.
Every inspection point in Crawley is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. Buyers and sellers in Crawley often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Crawley, 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.
