Cavity insulation top-up for Dumbarton properties
If your property is in Dumbarton or the G82 district or nearby Clydebank, Bearsden and Bishopbriggs, it is within our Dunbartonshire coverage. It is about 7 miles north-west of Clydebank.
For semi-detached and terraced homes in Dumbarton, cavity barriers are fitted where your wall meets your neighbour's so the fill stays on your side. Where a Dumbarton property has an extension or a conservatory, we check how the old and new walls meet, because that junction is often missed.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Parts of Dunbartonshire 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, in Dumbarton no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.

When a top-up is not enough
If the existing fill is wet, contaminated with debris or breaking down, adding more on top can make things worse. In that case we tell you the honest option, which may be partial or full removal and refill.
