Repointing and pre-insulation repairs for Inverurie properties
Inverurie is among the towns we cover in Aberdeen and Grampian, alongside Aberdeen and Peterhead. It is about 16 miles north-west of Aberdeen.
Damp in an insulated Inverurie home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction. Where an Inverurie wall does need work, bricks are lifted and rebuilt in matching mortar, and the cavity is checked with a camera before it is closed up.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Aberdeen and Grampian 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Inverurie, 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.
