Cavity wall suitability survey across Glasgow
We cover Glasgow and its surrounding districts.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Parts of Glasgow 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.
The written result for your Glasgow property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. A survey in Glasgow gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
Building standards in Scotland
In Scotland, work associated with thermal insulating material within a wall is listed in schedule 3 of the Building (Scotland) Regulations as work that does not need a building warrant. It must still meet the building standards, so the survey still checks that the wall and the chosen material are suitable, including exposure to wind-driven rain.
Sources: Scottish Government: building work not requiring a warrant (schedule 3).

The survey is free with an install quote. A standalone report is not insulation, so it is normally standard-rated for VAT; guide prices include VAT. Guide ranges only: the fixed price is confirmed in writing before any work starts, and anything that could not be seen at survey is agreed with you first.
