Repointing and pre-insulation repairs for Caterham properties
If your property is in Caterham or the CR3 district or nearby Redhill, Banstead and Reigate, it is within our Surrey coverage. It is roughly 22 miles east of Guildford.
We never cold-call in Caterham or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. Where a Caterham 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.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Much of Surrey 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 Caterham, 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.
What is included in Caterham
