Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Forfar properties
Forfar sits in Tayside, roughly 13 miles north of Dundee. We work across the DD8 district, including nearby Dundee and Arbroath.
Where a Forfar property has an extension or a conservatory, we check how the old and new walls meet, because that junction is often missed. If a wall in Forfar 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.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Tayside 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 Forfar 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.
