Cavity wall insulation for flats for Galashiels properties
Our Scottish Borders coverage takes in Galashiels (TD1) and nearby Peebles, Kelso and Hawick. Galashiels is one of the main towns we cover in the Scottish Borders.
Work on Galashiels rented homes and blocks is booked around tenants and residents, with access arranged through your agent if you prefer. For landlords and managing agents in Galashiels, we survey in batches and return a result sheet and fixed price per address.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. The Scottish Borders 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.
For regulations, in Galashiels no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.

Why one flat cannot usually be done alone
The cavity runs continuously across the building. The Energy Saving Trust notes that flats need agreement from the whole block. Filling one flat's walls in isolation leaves gaps, and the freeholder normally owns the structure.
