Party wall cavity insulation for Glenrothes properties
If your property is in Glenrothes or the KY7 district or nearby Kirkcaldy and Dunfermline, it is within our Fife coverage. It is roughly 14 miles north-east of Dunfermline.
Where a Glenrothes property has an extension or a conservatory, we check how the old and new walls meet, because that junction is often missed. For semi-detached and terraced homes in Glenrothes, cavity barriers are fitted where your wall meets your neighbour's so the fill stays on your side.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. 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.
As for paperwork, in Glenrothes no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.

Why a party wall loses heat
Many semi-detached and terraced homes built with cavity separating walls have that cavity open to the loft. Air moves up the cavity and out at the top, a loss sometimes called the party wall bypass. Filling the cavity and sealing the top stops it.
