Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Nairn properties
We cover Nairn and the IV12 postcode district, including nearby Inverness. It is about 15 miles north-east of Inverness.
We never cold-call in Nairn or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. If your Nairn installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Parts of the Highlands and Islands 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.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Nairn, no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
Rules in Scotland
