Repointing and pre-insulation repairs for Shrewsbury properties
If your property is in Shrewsbury or the SY1 district or nearby Wellington and Telford, it is within our Shropshire coverage. Shrewsbury is one of the main towns we cover in Shropshire.
If your Shrewsbury installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work. Damp in an insulated Shrewsbury home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Shropshire 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.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Shrewsbury, 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.
