Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Forfar properties
If your property is in Forfar or the DD8 district or nearby Dundee and Arbroath, it is within our Tayside coverage. It is about 13 miles north of Dundee.
We never cold-call in Forfar or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. Damp in an insulated Forfar home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Tayside 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.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Forfar, no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
Rules in Scotland
