Repointing and pre-insulation repairs for Thornton-Cleveleys properties
If your property is in Thornton-Cleveleys or the FY5 district or nearby Fleetwood, Blackpool and Lytham St Annes, it is within our Lancashire coverage. It is around 15 miles north-west of Preston.
Damp in an insulated Thornton-Cleveleys home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction. If your Thornton-Cleveleys installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Parts of Lancashire face some of the heaviest wind-driven rain in the UK, especially exposed coastal and upland sites. Here the survey is stricter: some walls suit only certain certified systems, and some should not be filled at all.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Thornton-Cleveleys, 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.
