Repointing and pre-insulation repairs for Aldershot properties
Aldershot sits in Hampshire, around 37 miles north-east of Southampton. We work across the GU11 district, including nearby Farnborough, Fleet and Yateley.
We never cold-call in Aldershot or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. Damp in an insulated Aldershot home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Hampshire 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 Aldershot, 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.
