Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Renfrew properties
Our Renfrewshire and Inverclyde coverage takes in Renfrew (PA4) and nearby Paisley, Newton Mearns and Greenock. It is around 3 miles north-east of Paisley.
A suitable wall in Renfrew is usually filled in a single day from outside, with drill holes made good to match the pointing. For semi-detached and terraced homes in Renfrew, cavity barriers are fitted where your wall meets your neighbour's so the fill stays on your side.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Parts of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde 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.
In terms of approvals, in Renfrew no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.

What we work from
Your architect's or designer's specification and the energy calculation for the job. We match the product, thickness and fixing to that spec, keep cavities clean as the walls rise, and fit cavity trays, closers and stop ends where shown so the building control inspection goes smoothly.
