Defect #42 · Critical Compliance
Uninsulated cavity lintel — Breaches Approved Document L
Why Cantab
A building diagnostic survey, not a torch-and-clipboard walkthrough.
Most snagging lists stop at chipped skirting and paint runs. We inspect the parts of your home that cost the most to put right later — cavity insulation continuity, roof envelope integrity, screed moisture, ventilation provision and fire-stopping — and we cite the exact technical clause each defect breaches so your site manager cannot wave it away as "within tolerance".
