Underfloor insulation for Lerwick properties
We cover Lerwick and the ZE1 postcode district. Island addresses are surveyed by arrangement.
In Lerwick homes this is often done on the same visit as a cavity fill, which saves a second trip. Small measures like this are often among the cheapest per pound saved, and they suit Lerwick homes of every age.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Lerwick, 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.
