Which rules apply in Scotland?
PAS 2035:2023 sets the whole-house retrofit process (assessment, coordination, design, installation and evaluation), and PAS 2030:2023 covers installation. Most government-backed retrofit schemes require both, with TrustMark lodgement. We confirm in writing, before appointment, how each measure in your scope will meet those requirements.
What does it cost in Scotland?
Our guide range for cavity wall insulation in Scotland is £900–£2,600 per home. That is the UK range of £950–£2,700 (published figure) adjusted by a regional cost factor of 0.97 (our own estimate); figures are before VAT where the source states it. Every job is priced after survey; specification, access and the condition of the homes will move the figure.
How do we deliver it?
Loft work includes checking that the eaves are still ventilating once the new insulation is down, because blocked eaves cause condensation in the roof space.

Not if the loft remains ventilated. We check eaves and ridge ventilation before laying insulation.
Can you remove failed cavity insulation?
Yes. Extraction is common where old fill has become wet and is bridging damp to the inner wall.
