Draught-proofing in Fife

Fife properties get the same survey-first approach to draught-proofing: check, explain, price, then book. Draught-proofing seals the gaps that let warm air out and cold air in, around doors, windows, letterboxes, loft hatches and skirting boards, while leaving planned ventilation alone.

Draught-proofing across Fife

We cover 3 towns in Fife: Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes.

We check ventilation as carefully as insulation in Fife homes, because both matter for keeping a house dry. In Fife homes this is often done on the same visit as a cavity fill, which saves a second trip.

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.

Funding in Scotland

  • Home Energy Scotland is the starting point for the Home Energy Scotland Grant and Loan and for Warmer Homes Scotland, which can include cavity wall insulation.
  • Many councils also run area-based schemes for insulation in particular streets or estates.
  • ECO4 runs until 31 December 2026 across Great Britain, including Scotland.

Sources: Scottish Government: building work not requiring a warrant (schedule 3); Home Energy Scotland; mygov.scot: grants and loans for energy saving improvements; GOV.UK: extending the ECO4 end date, government response.

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.

What is included

  • Door and window seals
  • Letterbox and keyhole covers
  • Loft hatch seals
  • Skirting and floor gap sealing

Draught-proofing in Fife: questions

Do you cover all of Fife?

Yes. We cover 3 towns across Fife, including Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes, and the villages around them. Island and remote addresses are surveyed by arrangement.

Do you cold-call in Fife?

No. We only come out when you have asked us to. If someone cold-calls offering free insulation, check before you agree to anything.

Can you do this on the same visit as cavity wall insulation in Fife?

Often, yes. If your Fife home also has unfilled cavity walls, both can be surveyed together and priced separately on one quote.

Is there VAT on draught-proofing in Fife?

Installing insulation in a home is currently zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, then 5%. Commercial buildings are standard-rated.
