Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Helensburgh properties
Helensburgh sits in Argyll and Bute. We work across the G84 district, including nearby Dunoon and Oban.
For semi-detached and terraced homes in Helensburgh, cavity barriers are fitted where your wall meets your neighbour's so the fill stays on your side. Most Helensburgh 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.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Parts of Argyll and Bute 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, in Helensburgh no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.

What we work from
Your architect's or designer's specification and the energy calculation for the job. We match the product, thickness and fixing to that spec, keep cavities clean as the walls rise, and fit cavity trays, closers and stop ends where shown so the building control inspection goes smoothly.
