Cavity wall insulation for Clydebank properties
If your property is in Clydebank or the G81 district or nearby Bearsden, Bishopbriggs and Dumbarton, it is within our Dunbartonshire coverage. Clydebank is one of the main towns we cover in Dunbartonshire.
Where a Clydebank property has an extension or a conservatory, we check how the old and new walls meet, because that junction is often missed. For semi-detached and terraced homes in Clydebank, cavity barriers are fitted where your wall meets your neighbour's so the fill stays on your side.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. 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.
In terms of approvals, in Clydebank no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.

Is my wall suitable for cavity wall insulation?
Most homes built from the 1920s onwards have cavity walls, but having a cavity is not the same as being suitable. The Energy Saving Trust's rule of thumb is a cavity of at least 50mm, clear of rubble, behind masonry in good condition, on a wall that is not exposed to severe driving rain or flood risk.
