Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Peterhead properties
Our Aberdeen and Grampian coverage takes in Peterhead (AB42) and nearby Inverurie and Aberdeen. It is roughly 26 miles north of Aberdeen.
Peterhead properties with rendered or painted walls get a closer look at the outer finish, because cracked render can let rain behind it. If a wall in Peterhead is not suitable, for example because of an undiagnosed damp patch or a very exposed gable, you are told so in writing with the reason.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. 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 Peterhead 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.
