Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Aberdeen properties
If your property is in Aberdeen or the AB11 district or nearby Inverurie and Peterhead, it is within our Aberdeen and Grampian coverage. Aberdeen is one of the main towns we cover in Aberdeen and Grampian.
We never cold-call in Aberdeen or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Aberdeen properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Aberdeen and Grampian 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.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Aberdeen, no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
Rules in Scotland
