Cavity wall insulation for flats for Stornoway properties
Stornoway is among the towns we cover in the Highlands and Islands. Island addresses are surveyed by arrangement.
For commercial buildings in Stornoway, the survey also considers building use and fire requirements before a material is specified. Work on Stornoway rented homes and blocks is booked around tenants and residents, with access arranged through your agent if you prefer.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Parts of the Highlands and Islands 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.
For regulations, in Stornoway no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
Funding in Scotland
In Scotland, Home Energy Scotland is the route to the Home Energy Scotland Grant and Loan and Warmer Homes Scotland.

Fire and height
For blocks, the material must suit the building's height and use. Non-combustible mineral wool is the usual choice; we confirm the system and its certificate limits in writing.
