Remove and refill for Kilmarnock properties
If your property is in Kilmarnock or the KA1 district or nearby Irvine and Ayr, it is within our Ayrshire coverage. Kilmarnock is one of the main towns we cover in Ayrshire.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Kilmarnock properties, so you can choose who fixes them. Damp in an insulated Kilmarnock home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Parts of Ayrshire face some of the heaviest wind-driven rain in the UK, especially exposed coastal and upland sites. Here the survey is stricter: some walls suit only certain certified systems, and some should not be filled at all.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Kilmarnock, no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
Rules in Scotland
No building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards if insulation work follows.
Sources: Scottish Government: building work not requiring a warrant (schedule 3).
Why refill at all?
Often the original problem was the wrong material for the exposure, poor installation or defects in the outer wall, not cavity insulation as such. Once the defects are fixed and the cavity is clean, a suitable certified system can usually go back in. Where the wall is too exposed for any fill, we say so and leave it empty.
