Cavity wall insulation for landlords for Kirkwall properties
Our Highlands and Islands coverage takes in Kirkwall (KW15) and nearby Thurso. Island addresses are surveyed by arrangement.
Blocks of flats in Kirkwall are surveyed as a whole, because the cavity runs across every flat in the building. For landlords and managing agents in Kirkwall, we survey in batches and return a result sheet and fixed price per address.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. 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.
On compliance, in Kirkwall no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
