Loft insulation for Stornoway properties
Stornoway sits in the Highlands and Islands. We work across the HS1 district.
Small measures like this are often among the cheapest per pound saved, and they suit Stornoway homes of every age. We check ventilation as carefully as insulation in Stornoway homes, because both matter for keeping a house dry.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Stornoway, no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
