Insulation

If your property is within the area of the map which would entitle this type of insulation assistance please contact contact the Environmental Noise Manager via  insulation@edinburghairport.com who will arrange a visit to  your property to explain our scheme and how to proceed.  

Only applications made to the Insulation Scheme by the property owner will be assessed for eligibility under the scheme. Applications from property developers and owners of multiple properties are not eligible to apply to the scheme.

Retrospective applications to the scheme will not be accepted.
