Draught-proofing across Lothian
We cover 4 towns in Lothian: Livingston, Musselburgh, Bathgate and Dalkeith.
We check ventilation as carefully as insulation in Lothian homes, because both matter for keeping a house dry. Where a Lothian home also has empty cavity walls, we can survey those at the same time.
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.

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
