🛠️ What to Expect: SWIP Team Inspection Visit

Dear Installer,

Thank you for your continued commitment to quality as part of the SWIP Approved Installer Programme. As part of our process, a SWIP representative will carry out a quality inspection of your Internal Wall Insulation (IWI) or Room-in-Roof (RIR) installation.

This inspection will be conducted either through an on-site visit or a desktop inspection via recorded video call, depending on the project.

✅ Purpose of the Inspection

The inspection ensures your installation meets SWIP’s system requirements, manufacturer guidelines, and workmanship standards—supporting your ongoing approval status.

🔍 Types of Inspection

1. On-Site Inspection

A SWIP inspector will visit your site to assess the installation in person.

What to Expect:

  • Notice Given: You’ll receive the estimated arrival window in advance.
  • Duration: 30–60 minutes, depending on complexity.
  • Focus Areas:
    • Correct use and installation of SWIP System components
    • A wall showing installed SWIP Stud & Batt  
    • Another wall showing installed SWIP Stud, Batt and membrane fully taped to specification.
    • Finishing and detailing at reveals, corners, sockets, sills
    • General quality of workmanship
    • Compliance with the SWIP installation guides

Please Prepare:

  • Access to installed areas
  • Relevant documents (designs, floor-plan of areas requiring insulation)
  • An available on-site contact (NVQ Level 2 - Certified )

2. Desktop Inspection (Video Call)

For remote locations or when a physical visit isn't practical, we will conduct a video-based desktop inspection.

What to Expect:

  • A pre-scheduled video call walkthrough using your mobile device
  • The inspection will be recorded for verification and training purposes
  • Real-time feedback and guidance during the call

Please Prepare:

  • A fully charged mobile phone or tablet with a working camera
  • A stable internet connection
  • Well-lit rooms for visual clarity

📦 Materials & Components We’ll Be Inspecting

The inspection will verify correct and proper use of the following SWIP System components:

  • SWIP Stud – correct positioning and alignment
  • SWIP Batt – compression fit and integrity
  • SWIP Tapes – full sealing around junctions and edges
  • SWIP Reveal Boards – used appropriately around windows and doors
  • SWIP Insulated Plasterboard – correct fixing, joint treatment, and finishing
  • Adhesives & Fixings – as specified in the system documentation
  • Additional Components – mechanical fixings, sealants, vapour control layers, etc.

Every component plays a critical role in the system’s thermal, airtightness, and fire performance. The inspector will be checking both product presence and installation quality.

💬 During the Inspection

  • The inspector may take photos or screenshots (with your permission)
  • You’ll receive constructive feedback in real time
  • If any corrective actions are needed, they’ll be clearly explained

🏁 After the Inspection

You will receive:

  • A completed inspection report/form
  • Summary of findings and any actions required
  • Confirmation of system compliance or next steps if issues are identified
