Underfloor insulation for Bearsden properties
Bearsden sits in Dunbartonshire, about 3 miles east of Clydebank. We work across the G61 district, including nearby Clydebank, Bishopbriggs and Kirkintilloch.
In Bearsden homes this is often done on the same visit as a cavity fill, which saves a second trip. Where a Bearsden home also has empty cavity walls, we can survey those at the same time.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Bearsden, 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.
