Responsive and caring – we can deliver.
We understand that whether you are selling or renting a house, quick turnaround is crucial. Energy efficient homes are becoming more and more desirable as fuel bills continue to rise. Solas insulation will respond to your needs by putting our experience and resources to your benefit.
Whether it’s delivering an Energy Performance Certificate within 24 hours or surveying and insulating a house within a few days, we are big enough to deliver and small enough to care.
We work with clients to design services around their needs.
We have grown around our strategy of creating lasting partnerships with landlords, households, funders and housing professionals.
We are not just an insulation company – over the years we have developed products, designed programmes, and levered £millions on behalf of our clients. We will help you to maximise external funding to meet up to 100% of the cost of insulating your tenants’ homes – whether from the Scottish Government’s Insulation schemes, power utilities’ CERT funding or other available sources.
We know who to talk to.
We’ve designed our management team around your needs.
Our management team is well equipped to meet your needs. Led by our Managing Director who has degrees in Building Engineering and Business Management, a post-graduate housing diploma and over 10 years experience in senior positions in the social rented sector, we understand the opportunities and challenges from your perspective. We have first hand experience of successfully bringing together landlords householders, grant agencies and other funders.
All-inclusive long-term solutions.
Don’t waste your time and money. Optimise insulation and home energy ratings quickly and effectively in partnership with Solas.
Professional and highly qualified people.
All of our staff are trained and qualified to the highest national standard. Our insulation installers have at least NVQ level 2 qualifications and our cavity wall installers have BBA accredited technicians badges. All of our surveyors have NVQs in energy surveying and advice. They are also accredited surveyors for the Home Energy Rating (NHER / SAP) process.
Our customer care staff are also qualified to at least SVQ level 3.
We realise that qualifications by themselves don’t guarantee quality service.
We try to select people with the right attitude – people who want to work to make life better. We believe that skills can be taught but pride in what we do and the desire to help people comes with the person.
We know what we’re doing.
