How S&K Glazing can help with the Aberdeen Airport scheme

S&K Glazing is not an officially appointed installer for the Aberdeen Airport Noise Insulation Scheme — that scheme uses its own appointed installers. Our role is to help you in three ways: (1) free eligibility check — tell us your postcode and we'll confirm whether you fall inside the scheme boundary; (2) guidance on how to apply — we explain the application process, what documents you need, and what to expect; (3) private installation for work the scheme doesn't fund — properties outside the boundary, premium acoustic upgrades (Rw 48-52dB triple glazing) beyond the standard spec, non-habitable rooms the scheme excludes, and commercial premises. If you're eligible for funded works, we'll point you to the official route. If you're not — or you want better than the scheme provides — we're ready to quote.

Frequently asked questions

How much can I claim under Aberdeen's scheme?

Up to £5,000 inclusive of VAT per eligible property. Quotes exceeding this mean you're responsible for the difference.

Who oversees Aberdeen's noise scheme?

Aberdeen Airport Consultative Committee (ACC), made up of airport managers and local community representatives.

Does the £5,000 include VAT?

Yes - the cap is £5,000 inclusive of VAT. A £4,500 + VAT quote would total £5,400 (£400 above the cap).

Can I get noise insulation if my property is outside the boundary?

Not from the Aberdeen scheme. We can quote privately though Aberdeen is at the far edge of our coverage area.

What works qualify for Aberdeen's grant?

Acoustic glazing, secondary glazing, acoustic ventilation, and loft insulation upgrades for habitable rooms. Non-habitable rooms are excluded.
