Social housing and estate programmes for Livingston properties
Livingston sits in Lothian. We work across the EH54 district, including nearby Bathgate, Dalkeith and Musselburgh.
Blocks of flats in Livingston are surveyed as a whole, because the cavity runs across every flat in the building. Work on Livingston rented homes and blocks is booked around tenants and residents, with access arranged through your agent if you prefer.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Lothian 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 Livingston no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
