Repointing and pre-insulation repairs for Ashton-under-Lyne properties
If your property is in Ashton-under-Lyne or the OL7 district or nearby Dukinfield, Stalybridge and Droylsden, it is within our Greater Manchester coverage. It is about 6 miles east of Manchester.
Damp in an insulated Ashton-under-Lyne home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction. If your Ashton-under-Lyne installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Greater Manchester 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.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Ashton-under-Lyne, 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.

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.
