EWI systems (commonly used to improve energy efficiency on solid-wall buildings) can deliver substantial benefits when installed properly, but poor installation, substandard workmanship or inadequate detailing can lead to major problems…
Faulty or missing insulation board fixings, inadequate or missing breathable membranes, blocked ventilation, or exposed fixings. These defects undermine thermal performance and can lead to heat loss
Moisture ingress, which can result in damp, mould growth, deterioration of the wall fabric or internal finishes. The National Audit Office found that around 98% of homes that had external wall insulation under certain schemes required remediation work
Significant costs and disruption down the line. You might face expensive repairs, loss of warranty cover, difficulties remortgaging or selling, and reduced value of your property
Poor workmanship now means risk to your investment later. Cracks, moisture trapping, thermal bridging, fixings failure
Having an independent inspection enables you to identify these issues early. Understand the condition, highlight defects, and act before things escalate
At Fitzgerald Surveying Services Ltd our inspection process covers…
External assessment of wall surfaces, insulation panels/cladding, fixings, render/finish, seal details at windows/doors, oversights and drainage provision
Visual inspection of ventilation, along with cavity detailing (where relevant), interface between roof/wall junctions, upstands, and flashings
Thermal imaging or moisture scanning (where indicated) to detect hidden cold-spots, insulation voids or damp ingress
Inspection of internal finishes where relevant including signs of damp, condensation, cold-bridging, or surface mould
Review of installation documentation (where provided) and comparison against relevant standards, tolerances and manufacturer guidance
A detailed written report with photographs, along with findings, categorised defects, risk rating and recommended remedial works (if any)

Discover the key benefits of our EWI inspection service…..
Early detection of workmanship flaws — fix things now rather than later when costs escalate

You’ve recently had EWI installed and want an independent check before the warranty period ends

You own a property with EWI and notice signs of damp or cold spots, and wish to investigate
You want to document remedial issues to present to a contractor, developer or insurer

We are very happy with the service!
“Jake did a Damp and Mould inspection of our house as we had concerns with mould in one of the bedrooms. The inspection was very thorough, Jake explained everything really well and gave us very useful recommendations. The communication was excellent. We received a comprehensive report same day and followed up with additional questions which Jake was happy to help with. We are very happy with the service and would highly recommend Fitzgerald Surveying.”
