Blown mineral wool insulation for Renfrew properties
If your property is in Renfrew or the PA4 district or nearby Paisley, Newton Mearns and Greenock, it is within our Renfrewshire and Inverclyde coverage. It is roughly 3 miles north-east of Paisley.
Most Renfrew houses built from the 1920s onwards have cavity walls, but the survey still checks each one: cavity width, debris, the condition of the brickwork and how exposed each wall is. Where a Renfrew property has an extension or a conservatory, we check how the old and new walls meet, because that junction is often missed.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Parts of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde 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.
For regulations, in Renfrew no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.

Why choose mineral wool?
Mineral wool fibres are treated to shed water, so moisture that gets into the outer leaf runs down the cavity rather than tracking across. It is classed as non-combustible, which matters for some flats and taller buildings, and it is usually the lower-cost certified option.
