Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Hawick properties
If your property is in Hawick or the TD9 district or nearby Galashiels, Kelso and Peebles, it is within our Scottish Borders coverage. It is about 16 miles south of Galashiels.
For semi-detached and terraced homes in Hawick, cavity barriers are fitted where your wall meets your neighbour's so the fill stays on your side. Where a Hawick property has an extension or a conservatory, we check how the old and new walls meet, because that junction is often missed.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. The Scottish Borders 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 the rules side, in Hawick 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.
What is included in Hawick
- Batts or boards to the specified U-value
- Trays, closers and stop ends as drawn
- Coordination with your bricklayers
