Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Dunfermline properties
Our Fife coverage takes in Dunfermline (KY12) and nearby Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes. Dunfermline is one of the main towns we cover in Fife.
A suitable wall in Dunfermline is usually filled in a single day from outside, with drill holes made good to match the pointing. Where a Dunfermline 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. Fife 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 compliance, in Dunfermline 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.
