Rented property, Andover: working around tenants
A private landlord's rented property where our borescope survey found growth and vegetation inside the cavity on the side elevation. The house also needed a damp-proof course and had broken and spalled bricks on the gable. Nobody would have known about the vegetation without the survey.
- 112m² of cavity wall treated
- Vegetation removed from cavity
- Dry Rod DPC injected
- Gable bricks replaced
- ThermaBead bonded bead refill
- Arranged through letting agent — tenants kept informed
What we did
We removed and refilled 112m² of cavity wall insulation, cleaned the vegetation out of the cavity, fitted a core vent for ventilation, injected a Dry Rod damp-proof course, replaced the damaged gable bricks, and refilled with ThermaBead bonded beads. We arranged access through the letting agent, kept the tenants informed about how long we would be there, and sent the photos and guarantee paperwork at the end.
Why it matters
Landlords need a contractor who will deal with the agent, respect the tenants and hand over clean paperwork. It also shows why a borescope survey matters: nobody would have known about the growth in the cavity without one.
