Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Airdrie properties
We cover Airdrie and the ML6 postcode district, including nearby Coatbridge, Motherwell and Cumbernauld. It is about 7 miles north of Hamilton.
Airdrie properties with rendered or painted walls get a closer look at the outer finish, because cracked render can let rain behind it. Where an Airdrie property has an extension or a conservatory, we check how the old and new walls meet, because that junction is often missed.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Parts of Lanarkshire 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 Airdrie 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.
