Cavity wall suitability survey for Irvine properties
If your property is in Irvine or the KA12 district or nearby Kilmarnock and Ayr, it is within our Ayrshire coverage. It is around 6 miles west of Kilmarnock.
Every inspection point in Irvine is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. A survey in Irvine gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Parts of Ayrshire 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.
For regulations, in Irvine no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
Rules in Scotland
No building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards if insulation work follows.
Sources: Scottish Government: building work not requiring a warrant (schedule 3).
