Assessors will help underpin the competence of Assessors who
survey buildings prior to the installation of cavity wall
installation.
The BBA Approved Scheme for installers of Loft Insulation has

to help ensure that loft insulation is installed
professionally to meet required standards and deliver the

householders.
