Repointing and pre-insulation repairs for Carshalton properties
Our Greater London coverage takes in Carshalton (SM5) and nearby Wallington, Sutton and Mitcham. It is around 10 miles south of London.
Where a Carshalton wall does need work, bricks are lifted and rebuilt in matching mortar, and the cavity is checked with a camera before it is closed up. Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Carshalton properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Much of Greater London 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.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Carshalton, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England

Why repairs come first
Energy Saving Trust advice is to fix brickwork, pointing, roofs, gutters and downpipes before filling. A filled cavity is less forgiving of a wet outer leaf than an empty one, so we price repairs separately and you choose who carries them out.
