Repointing and pre-insulation repairs for Tunbridge Wells properties
We cover Tunbridge Wells and the TN1 postcode district, including nearby Tonbridge, Sevenoaks and Maidstone. It is about 14 miles south-west of Maidstone.
We never cold-call in Tunbridge Wells or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. Where a Tunbridge Wells 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.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Much of Kent 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.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Tunbridge Wells, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

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.
