Wall tie replacement for Inverness properties
Inverness is among the towns we cover in the Highlands and Islands, alongside Nairn. Inverness is one of the main towns we cover in the Highlands and Islands.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Inverness properties, so you can choose who fixes them. Damp in an insulated Inverness home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Parts of the Highlands and Islands face some of the heaviest wind-driven rain in the UK, especially exposed coastal and upland sites. Here the survey is stricter: some walls suit only certain certified systems, and some should not be filled at all.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Inverness, 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.
Sources: Scottish Government: building work not requiring a warrant (schedule 3).
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.
