Cavity insulation top-up for Peterhead properties
Our Aberdeen and Grampian coverage takes in Peterhead (AB42) and nearby Inverurie and Aberdeen. It is around 26 miles north of Aberdeen.
For semi-detached and terraced homes in Peterhead, cavity barriers are fitted where your wall meets your neighbour's so the fill stays on your side. A suitable wall in Peterhead is usually filled in a single day from outside, with drill holes made good to match the pointing.
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.
On compliance, in Peterhead 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.
