Who owns the social homes in Salford?

- Cavity suitability survey, including borescope inspection
- Extraction of failed or unsuitable cavity fill
- Boarded walkways, hatch insulation and draught-proofing
- Loft ventilation checks and remedial vents

How do we deliver it?
No home is filled without a suitability survey. A cavity that should not have been filled becomes a damp complaint, and then a disrepair case.
