Remove and refill across Aberdeen and Grampian
We cover 4 towns in Aberdeen and Grampian: Aberdeen, Elgin, Peterhead and Inverurie.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Aberdeen and Grampian has a mix of moderate and more exposed sites. Hilltop, coastal and west-facing walls take the brunt of wind-driven rain, so the survey records exposure for each elevation before a material is chosen.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Aberdeen and Grampian properties, so you can choose who fixes them. If your Aberdeen and Grampian installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Building standards in Scotland
In Scotland, work associated with thermal insulating material within a wall is listed in schedule 3 of the Building (Scotland) Regulations as work that does not need a building warrant. It must still meet the building standards, so the survey still checks that the wall and the chosen material are suitable, including exposure to wind-driven rain.
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.
What is included
- Diagnosis and extraction
- Repairs to pointing, gutters or render where needed
- Clean-cavity camera check
- Refill with a suitable certified system
- Regulations route and guarantee named on the quote
