Draught-proofing for Lerwick properties
We cover Lerwick and the ZE1 postcode district. Island addresses are surveyed by arrangement.
In Lerwick homes this is often done on the same visit as a cavity fill, which saves a second trip. Where a Lerwick home also has empty cavity walls, we can survey those at the same time.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Lerwick, 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.
