Existing insulation and guarantee check across Edinburgh

We cover Edinburgh and its surrounding districts.

Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Edinburgh has a mix of moderate and more exposed sites. Hilltop, coastal and west-facing walls take the brunt of wind-driven rain, so the survey records exposure for each elevation before a material is chosen.

Every inspection point in Edinburgh is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. The written result for your Edinburgh property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.

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.

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.

What is included

  • Borescope checks
  • Visual check of walls and patched holes
