Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Dumbarton properties
Dumbarton sits in Dunbartonshire, around 7 miles north-west of Clydebank. We work across the G82 district, including nearby Clydebank, Bearsden and Bishopbriggs.
Dumbarton properties with rendered or painted walls get a closer look at the outer finish, because cracked render can let rain behind it. Where a Dumbarton property has an extension or a conservatory, we check how the old and new walls meet, because that junction is often missed.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Parts of Dunbartonshire 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.
As for paperwork, in Dumbarton no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.

Extensions that join an older house
Where an extension meets an existing cavity wall, the junction is a weak point. We can borescope and fill the existing wall at the same time so the old and new walls perform together.
