Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Aberdeen properties
We cover Aberdeen and the AB11 postcode district, including nearby Inverurie and Peterhead. Aberdeen is one of the main towns we cover in Aberdeen and Grampian.
Most Aberdeen 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 an Aberdeen property has an extension or a conservatory, we check how the old and new walls meet, because that junction is often missed.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Aberdeen and Grampian 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 Aberdeen 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.
