Social housing and estate programmes across Aberdeen and Grampian
We cover 4 towns in Aberdeen and Grampian: Aberdeen, Elgin, Peterhead and Inverurie.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. 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.
Per-address photo records for Aberdeen and Grampian properties make compliance files and EPC updates straightforward. Work on Aberdeen and Grampian rented homes and blocks is booked around tenants and residents, with access arranged through your agent if you prefer.
Building standards in Scotland
In Scotland, work associated with thermal insulating material within a wall is listed in schedule 3 of the Building (Scotland) Regulations as work that does not need a building warrant. It must still meet the building standards, so the survey still checks that the wall and the chosen material are suitable, including exposure to wind-driven rain.
Funding in Scotland
- Home Energy Scotland is the starting point for the Home Energy Scotland Grant and Loan and for Warmer Homes Scotland, which can include cavity wall insulation.
- Many councils also run area-based schemes for insulation in particular streets or estates.
- ECO4 runs until 31 December 2026 across Great Britain, including Scotland.
