Cavity wall suitability survey for Rutherglen properties
We cover Rutherglen and the G73 postcode district, including nearby Cambuslang, East Kilbride and Coatbridge. It is around 8 miles north-west of Hamilton.
The written result for your Rutherglen property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. Every inspection point in Rutherglen is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. 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.
For regulations, in Rutherglen 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.
