Repointing and pre-insulation repairs for Dunfermline properties
We cover Dunfermline and the KY12 postcode district, including nearby Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes. Dunfermline is one of the main towns we cover in Fife.
We never cold-call in Dunfermline or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Dunfermline properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Fife 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.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Dunfermline, no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
Rules in Scotland
No building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards if insulation work follows.

Why repairs come first
Energy Saving Trust advice is to fix brickwork, pointing, roofs, gutters and downpipes before filling. A filled cavity is less forgiving of a wet outer leaf than an empty one, so we price repairs separately and you choose who carries them out.
