Homes and walls in Thurso
We cover Thurso and nearby Wick, Kirkwall and Lossiemouth. Thurso is about 81 miles from Inverness.
The Highlands and Islands have many exposed stone and harled homes, timber-framed houses and scattered rural properties.
Parts of Highland fall in the higher wind-driven rain exposure bands, especially coastal and upland sites, so render specification, movement joints and detailing at cills, verges and the base of the wall matter more than usual.

Approvals in Scotland
In Scotland, permitted development for external wall changes is narrower, so in Thurso we check with the council's planning team where the appearance changes, and always for flats, tenements and conservation areas.
Where a building warrant is needed for Thurso work, it's obtained before installation starts, and the quote says who arranges it.
