Party wall cavity insulation for Dunfermline properties
If your property is in Dunfermline or the KY12 district or nearby Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes, it is within our Fife coverage. Dunfermline is one of the main towns we cover in Fife.
Dunfermline properties with rendered or painted walls get a closer look at the outer finish, because cracked render can let rain behind it. Where a Dunfermline 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. Fife 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.
For regulations, in Dunfermline no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.

What we need from you and your neighbour
The cavity is shared, so we talk you through notifying your neighbour before work. Filling is done from your side, usually through the loft. The survey confirms the wall is a cavity wall and not solid masonry, and checks for cables, flues and any gaps that would let fill escape.
