Party wall cavity insulation for Forfar properties
If your property is in Forfar or the DD8 district or nearby Dundee and Arbroath, it is within our Tayside coverage. It is roughly 13 miles north of Dundee.
A suitable wall in Forfar is usually filled in a single day from outside, with drill holes made good to match the pointing. For semi-detached and terraced homes in Forfar, cavity barriers are fitted where your wall meets your neighbour's so the fill stays on your side.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. 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.
On compliance, in Forfar 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 Forfar
