Party wall cavity insulation for Dundee properties
Dundee is among the towns we cover in Tayside, alongside Forfar, Arbroath and Perth. Dundee is one of the main towns we cover in Tayside.
Where a Dundee property has an extension or a conservatory, we check how the old and new walls meet, because that junction is often missed. A suitable wall in Dundee is usually filled in a single day from outside, with drill holes made good to match the pointing.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. 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 Dundee 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.
What is included in Dundee

- Certified fill to the separating wall
