Cavity wall insulation for Aberdeen properties
If your property is in Aberdeen or the AB11 district or nearby Inverurie and Peterhead, it is within our Aberdeen and Grampian coverage. Aberdeen is one of the main towns we cover in Aberdeen and Grampian.
A suitable wall in Aberdeen is usually filled in a single day from outside, with drill holes made good to match the pointing. If a wall in Aberdeen is not suitable, for example because of an undiagnosed damp patch or a very exposed gable, you are told so in writing with the reason.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. 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.
For regulations, in Aberdeen no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
Funding in Scotland

Which material goes in?
Usually blown mineral wool or bonded polystyrene beads, both third-party certified for cavity fill. The survey picks the system that suits your cavity width, wall condition and exposure zone, not whichever is cheapest on the day. Old-style urea-formaldehyde foam is not used.
