CAVITY WALL SURVEYS
Our independent cavity wall surveys evaluate the condition of the cavity between the inner and outer walls of a building, providing homeowners with unbiased information about their property's insulation, cavity ties and potential issues like dampness.
Here is a detailed overview of what our independent cavity wall surveys offer:
Our cavity wall tie and insulation surveys adhere to the recommendations provided in BRE 401. Building Research Digest 401, published in 1995, provides official guidance for surveyors evaluating wall tie corrosion and condition. Surveys typically involve drilling small holes to insert a camera or probe into the cavity, minimising disruption to the home.
Borescope inspections use a flexible camera to visualise the cavity's contents, including the condition of insulation and ties.
Surveyors assess the type, condition, and presence of cavity wall insulation and examine the external condition of the building to check for any signs of water ingress or dampness.
Surveys may include thermal imaging to detect heat leaks and identify areas where insulation may be absent or failing.
ACB Surveys Ltd provide objective recommendations on whether cavity wall insulation is suitable for the property and on addressing any identified issues.
We offer advice on repairing or improving the existing insulation, or on other methods of insulation.
Surveys can support claims under CWI guarantees if issues are found with the insulation or its installation.
Reports detailing the survey's findings can serve as evidence in disputes with insulation providers.
