What is a loft condensation investigation?
We inspect the loft in daylight and by torch, measure moisture in the timbers, check the underlay, ventilation, insulation and the routes that let warm air in from the house, and look at the roof from outside. You get written findings with photos and a plain list of what we recommend, which may include work we do not offer. More about a loft condensation investigation.

How much does a loft condensation investigation cost in the Highlands and Islands?
This work is not an energy-saving material for VAT, so it is standard-rated if VAT applies. Where it is done alongside insulation, the quote shows each part separately.
Building standards in Scotland
In Scotland, insulating an existing loft does not normally need a building warrant, but the building standards still apply. How the rules work across the UK.
Questions about a loft condensation investigation in the Highlands and Islands
Do you cover the whole of the Highlands and Islands?
Mainland towns such as Inverness, Dingwall and Nairn are within our normal area. Island and remote addresses are surveyed by arrangement, and travel may be priced separately.
Can you quote for several properties in the Highlands and Islands?
Yes. Landlords and agents can send a list of addresses and we will survey them in as few visits as we can.
Can loft insulation cause condensation?
It can expose an existing problem: the loft gets colder, so the same moist air condenses more readily. Ventilation and sealing air leaks put it right.
Is the investigation fee taken off the work?
The investigation is priced on its own so the advice is not tied to selling work. You decide what to do afterwards.
