Cavity wall insulation for flats for Hawick properties
Hawick sits in the Scottish Borders, roughly 16 miles south of Galashiels. We work across the TD9 district, including nearby Galashiels, Kelso and Peebles.
Work on Hawick rented homes and blocks is booked around tenants and residents, with access arranged through your agent if you prefer. For commercial buildings in Hawick, the survey also considers building use and fire requirements before a material is specified.
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.
As for paperwork, in Hawick 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.
