Underfloor insulation for Stranraer properties
Our Dumfries and Galloway coverage takes in Stranraer (DG9) and nearby Castle Douglas.
We check ventilation as carefully as insulation in Stranraer homes, because both matter for keeping a house dry. Where a Stranraer home also has empty cavity walls, we can survey those at the same time.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Stranraer, no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.

Keeping the void ventilated
Air bricks under a suspended floor must stay clear so the timbers stay dry. Insulation goes between the joists, not across the void, and gaps at skirtings are sealed to stop draughts.
