Cavity wall suitability survey for Falkirk properties
If your property is in Falkirk or the FK1 district or nearby Grangemouth, Alloa and Stirling, it is within our Forth Valley coverage. Falkirk is one of the main towns we cover in the Forth Valley.
Buyers and sellers in Falkirk often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls. The written result for your Falkirk property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. The Forth Valley 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 the rules side, in Falkirk 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.
