Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Parts of Cumbria 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 the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Barrow in Furness, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
