Repointing and pre-insulation repairs for Skegness properties
If your property is in Skegness or the PE25 district or nearby Boston, Spalding and Cleethorpes, it is within our Lincolnshire coverage. It is roughly 37 miles east of Lincoln.
Damp in an insulated Skegness home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction. Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Skegness properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Much of Lincolnshire 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.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Skegness, 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.
