Damp investigation after cavity insulation in Lothian

Damp investigation after cavity insulation across Lothian, priced before you book, with the findings written up and photographed.

Damp investigation after cavity insulation across Lothian

We cover 4 towns in Lothian: Livingston, Musselburgh, Bathgate and Dalkeith.

Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Lothian 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.

Where a Lothian wall does need work, bricks are lifted and rebuilt in matching mortar, and the cavity is checked with a camera before it is closed up. We never cold-call in Lothian 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.

Sources: Scottish Government: building work not requiring a warrant (schedule 3).
