Building standards in Scotland

Under the Building (Scotland) Regulations, insulating an existing loft does not normally need a building warrant, but the work must still meet the building standards, including Section 6 on energy. Converting a loft or creating a room in the roof needs a warrant. We confirm the position for your address on the quote.

Questions about loft insulation in Kirkwall

Can you take on work in Kirkwall?

Sometimes. Kirkwall is outside our normal travelling area, so we look at each job first. If we can help, any travel cost is shown on the quote before you book, and nothing is booked until you agree it.

Will I get a written quote for work in Kirkwall?

Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.

What do I need to do before you arrive in Kirkwall?

Clear a path to the hatch and, if you can, move stored items away from the area we will be working in. Tell us about anything heavy or fragile.

How do I pay for work in Kirkwall?

Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
