Party wall cavity insulation for Inverurie properties
We cover Inverurie and the AB51 postcode district, including nearby Aberdeen and Peterhead. It is roughly 16 miles north-west of Aberdeen.
If a wall in Inverurie 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. Where an Inverurie property has an extension or a conservatory, we check how the old and new walls meet, because that junction is often missed.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Aberdeen and Grampian 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 Inverurie 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.
