Loft and cavity wall insulation in a social home

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.

Which rules apply in Somerset?

PAS 2035:2023 sets the whole-house retrofit process (assessment, coordination, design, installation and evaluation), and PAS 2030:2023 covers installation. Most government-backed retrofit schemes require both, with TrustMark lodgement.
