Cavity Wall Insulation Surveys

Retrospective cavity wall insulation is common in UK homes, but installation quality can vary. Our Cavity Wall Insulation Surveys provide a detailed assessment to determine the performance, compliance, and potential issues of existing insulation.

We carry out inspections using specialist boroscopes to check multiple locations on each elevation, alongside thorough internal and external property checks. Where appropriate, thermal imaging and damp testing are included to identify moisture ingress or poorly installed insulation.

Our surveys verify whether the installation meets standards and other relevant guidelines, highlighting any defects, areas requiring remedial works, and potential risks to the building’s fabric. Reports can be tailored for legal proceedings or insurance purposes when required.

By combining technical expertise with practical investigation methods, our Cavity Wall Insulation Surveys give homeowners, landlords, and property managers the confidence that insulation is effective, safe, and compliant.
