Existing insulation and guarantee check for Oban properties

Oban sits in Argyll and Bute, around 39 miles north-west of Helensburgh. We work across the PA34 district, including nearby Dunoon and Helensburgh.

The written result for your Oban property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. A survey in Oban gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.

Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Parts of Argyll and Bute face some of the heaviest wind-driven rain in the UK, especially exposed coastal and upland sites. Here the survey is stricter: some walls suit only certain certified systems, and some should not be filled at all.

As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Oban, no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.

Rules in Scotland

No building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards if insulation work follows.

Sources: Scottish Government: building work not requiring a warrant (schedule 3).

Tracing a guarantee

Many cavity fills carry a 25-year guarantee from the Cavity Insulation Guarantee Agency (CIGA). CIGA can confirm whether a property is covered and can issue a duplicate guarantee for a fee; at the time of writing that fee is £60 including VAT, and proof of ownership is required.
