Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Motherwell properties
If your property is in Motherwell or the ML1 district or nearby Hamilton, Wishaw and Coatbridge, it is within our Lanarkshire coverage. It is around 2 miles north-east of Hamilton.
Damp in an insulated Motherwell home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction. If your Motherwell installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. 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, if cavity wall insulation follows in Motherwell, 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.
