Border Insulation Ltd
Border Insulation Ltd is the Scottish Borders’ leading insulation and joinery specialist, with over 50 years of hands-on experience in protecting and enhancing homes, historic buildings, and heritage properties. Unlike typical insulation companies, we offer a complete, end-to-end service, combining breathable insulation systems, expert joinery, and home energy solutions — all tailored to respect the character and longevity of traditional and listed buildings.
When it comes to heritage restoration, conservation projects, or sensitive upgrades, our knowledge, craftsmanship, and attention to detail ensure every project is sympathetic, high-performing, and built to last.
Our Services
-
Energy efficient Windows and Doors
We supply and install high-quality windows and doors tailored to both traditional and modern properties, with triple-glazed options available where required to maximise thermal performance and comfort. We work with trusted, specialist suppliers, and clients are welcome to visit their showrooms to view products, finishes, and glazing options firsthand before making a decision.
-
Loft Insulation
We provide loft insulation upgrades with a focus on achieving a 300 mm+ build-up of high-performance wool insulation, significantly improving thermal efficiency and heat retention. All installations include attention to correct ventilation, insulated and draught-sealed loft hatches, and detailing that prevents condensation issues while maintaining a healthy roof space.
-
Room in Roof
We offer flexible room-in-roof insulation solutions, including stripping existing wall and ceiling coverings to allow insulation with a choice of breathable or non-breathable systems, depending on the building type and performance requirements. Where internal disruption needs to be minimised, we can also remove roof coverings and insulate from above, improving thermal performance without altering internal finishes — an ideal approach for occupied homes and sensitive historic interiors.
-
Internal insulation
We specialise in internal wall insulation solutions across the full spectrum, from strapped wall systems to Historic Scotland–compliant breathable insulation builds. Using carefully selected materials and proven detailing, we tailor each system to the building type, ensuring improved thermal performance while protecting moisture movement and the long-term health of traditional and historic structures.
-
Joinery works
We provide a full range of joinery services for new builds and full house renovations, delivering high-quality craftsmanship throughout. Our work includes windows and doors, kitchens, flooring, decking, and a wide variety of bespoke joinery solutions, all tailored to suit the character and requirements of each property.
