Social housing and estate programmes for Dunoon properties
Dunoon is among the towns we cover in Argyll and Bute, alongside Helensburgh and Oban. It is around 8 miles south-west of Helensburgh.
For landlords and managing agents in Dunoon, we survey in batches and return a result sheet and fixed price per address. Work on Dunoon rented homes and blocks is booked around tenants and residents, with access arranged through your agent if you prefer.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Parts of Argyll and Bute 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.
In terms of approvals, in Dunoon no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
