Cavity wall suitability survey for East Kilbride properties
We cover East Kilbride and the G74 postcode district, including nearby Cambuslang, Rutherglen and Hamilton. It is around 6 miles west of Hamilton.
Every inspection point in East Kilbride is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. A survey in East Kilbride gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Parts of Lanarkshire 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.
As for paperwork, in East Kilbride no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
Rules in Scotland
