Draught-proofing for Stranraer properties
Stranraer is among the towns we cover in Dumfries and Galloway, alongside Castle Douglas.
In Stranraer homes this is often done on the same visit as a cavity fill, which saves a second trip. Where a Stranraer home also has empty cavity walls, we can survey those at the same time.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Stranraer, no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.

Ventilation still matters
Trickle vents, air bricks and extractor fans are there for a reason. We seal accidental gaps, not the ventilation your home needs to keep condensation down.
