Repointing and pre-insulation repairs for Wishaw properties
Our Lanarkshire coverage takes in Wishaw (ML2) and nearby Motherwell, Hamilton and Airdrie. It is roughly 4 miles east of Hamilton.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Wishaw properties, so you can choose who fixes them. Damp in an insulated Wishaw home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Parts of Lanarkshire face some of the heaviest wind-driven rain in the UK, especially exposed coastal and upland sites. Here the survey is stricter: some walls suit only certain certified systems, and some should not be filled at all.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Wishaw, 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.
