Repointing and pre-insulation repairs for Whitstable properties
If your property is in Whitstable or the CT5 district or nearby Herne Bay, Canterbury and Faversham, it is within our Kent coverage. It is around 23 miles east of Maidstone.
We never cold-call in Whitstable or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. If your Whitstable installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. 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 compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Whitstable, 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.
