Wall tie replacement for Glenrothes properties
Glenrothes is among the towns we cover in Fife, alongside Kirkcaldy and Dunfermline. It is about 14 miles north-east of Dunfermline.
We never cold-call in Glenrothes or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Glenrothes properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Fife 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.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Glenrothes, no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
Rules in Scotland
No building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards if insulation work follows.

Ties and cavity insulation
Ties should be checked before a cavity is filled. Fitting remedial ties does not normally stop a cavity being insulated later, and we can do both in one visit. Where cracking suggests movement, we recommend a structural engineer's view first.
What is included in Glenrothes
