Existing insulation and guarantee check for Worcester properties
If your property is in Worcester or the WR1 district or nearby Droitwich, Great Malvern and Stourport-on-Severn, it is within our Worcestershire coverage. Worcester is one of the main towns we cover in Worcestershire.
Where a Worcester wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random. Every inspection point in Worcester is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Worcestershire 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.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Worcester, 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.
