Loft insulation for Kelso properties
Kelso sits in the Scottish Borders, roughly 16 miles east of Galashiels. We work across the TD5 district, including nearby Galashiels and Hawick.
We check ventilation as carefully as insulation in Kelso homes, because both matter for keeping a house dry. Where a Kelso home also has empty cavity walls, we can survey those at the same time.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Kelso, no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.

What we check
Existing depth and condition, ventilation at the eaves, water tanks and pipes that need insulating, downlighters that need covers, and storage boarding that needs raising so insulation is not crushed.
