Repointing and pre-insulation repairs for Bathgate properties
If your property is in Bathgate or the EH48 district or nearby Livingston, Dalkeith and Musselburgh, it is within our Lothian coverage. It is roughly 5 miles west of Livingston.
We never cold-call in Bathgate or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. If your Bathgate installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Lothian 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.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Bathgate, 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.
