Damp can occur in properties as a result of Cavity Wall Insulation, leading to mould and other forms of fungal growth that can have damaging health issues, as well as seriously affecting the value and saleability of your property.
Three key areas to consider if you have had Cavity Wall Insulation but suspect it is failing or has failed are:
- Your home is exposed to severe levels of wind-driven rain. This could happen anywhere in the UK but is particularly prevalent on the west coast, from northern Scotland down through northern England and Wales to Cornwall.
- Your home is located in an unsheltered position, eg not protected by trees or other buildings
- The external walls are poorly built or maintained with, for example, cracks in the brickwork or rendering.
All these areas would potentially make your home unsuitable for Cavity Wall Insulation, even with any necessary preparatory work.

If you are suffering from what appears to be the failure of your insulation, it is important you find the guarantee / warranty that should have been given to you. Proving insulation failure isn’t easy – it is after all out of sight and very difficult to access – so it makes sense to discuss your concerns with a specialist claims company like Jackson Grant. We can guide you through the process, arranging everything from expert surveys to compensation, and for actionable claims there will be no cost to you.
