Party wall cavity insulation for Greenock properties
If your property is in Greenock or the PA15 district or nearby Paisley, Renfrew and Newton Mearns, it is within our Renfrewshire and Inverclyde coverage. It is about 15 miles north-west of Paisley.
For semi-detached and terraced homes in Greenock, cavity barriers are fitted where your wall meets your neighbour's so the fill stays on your side. A suitable wall in Greenock is usually filled in a single day from outside, with drill holes made good to match the pointing.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Parts of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde face some of the heaviest wind-driven rain in the UK, especially exposed coastal and upland sites. Here the survey is stricter: some walls suit only certain certified systems, and some should not be filled at all.
For regulations, in Greenock 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.
What is included in Greenock
