Cavity wall insulation for flats for Forfar properties
Our Tayside coverage takes in Forfar (DD8) and nearby Dundee and Arbroath. It is about 13 miles north of Dundee.
Work on Forfar rented homes and blocks is booked around tenants and residents, with access arranged through your agent if you prefer. Blocks of flats in Forfar are surveyed as a whole, because the cavity runs across every flat in the building.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Tayside 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 Forfar no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
Funding in 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.
