Underfloor insulation for Bathgate properties
Bathgate is among the towns we cover in Lothian, alongside Livingston, Dalkeith and Musselburgh. It is around 5 miles west of Livingston.
In Bathgate homes this is often done on the same visit as a cavity fill, which saves a second trip. Where a Bathgate home also has empty cavity walls, we can survey those at the same time.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Bathgate, 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.
What is included in Bathgate
- Insulation between joists
