Draught-proofing for Dumfries properties
Dumfries is among the towns we cover in Dumfries and Galloway, alongside Annan and Castle Douglas. Dumfries is one of the main towns we cover in Dumfries and Galloway.
Small measures like this are often among the cheapest per pound saved, and they suit Dumfries homes of every age. Where a Dumfries home also has empty cavity walls, we can survey those at the same time.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Dumfries, no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
