Damp investigation after cavity insulation across Glasgow
We cover Glasgow and its surrounding districts.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. 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.
If your Glasgow installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work. We never cold-call in Glasgow or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies.
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.
