Loft insulation for Thurso properties
If your property is in Thurso or the KW14 district or nearby Kirkwall, it is within our Highlands and Islands coverage.
In Thurso homes this is often done on the same visit as a cavity fill, which saves a second trip. Small measures like this are often among the cheapest per pound saved, and they suit Thurso homes of every age.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Thurso, no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
