Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Perth properties
Perth sits in Tayside, roughly 18 miles west of Dundee. We work across the PH2 district, including nearby Dundee, Forfar and Arbroath.
Most Perth houses built from the 1920s onwards have cavity walls, but the survey still checks each one: cavity width, debris, the condition of the brickwork and how exposed each wall is. Perth properties with rendered or painted walls get a closer look at the outer finish, because cracked render can let rain behind it.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. 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.
In terms of approvals, in Perth 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 Perth

- Coordination with your bricklayers
- Clean-cavity working
