Homes and walls in East Kilbride
As well as East Kilbride itself, we quote in Cambuslang, Rutherglen and Hamilton.
West Central Scotland has sandstone tenements, interwar and post-war council housing including no-fines and other system-built types, and many harled (roughcast) houses.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Lanarkshire: sheltered town streets fare better than walls on high ground or facing the prevailing weather, and the render, beads and cill details are chosen with that in mind.

Approvals in Scotland
In Scotland, permitted development for external wall changes is narrower, so in East Kilbride we check with the council's planning team where the appearance changes, and always for flats, tenements and conservation areas.
Over-cladding work in Scotland often needs a building warrant from the council's building standards service, with Section 6 of the Technical Handbooks setting insulation benchmarks.

East Kilbride: questions
Do you cover East Kilbride?
Yes — we survey and quote in East Kilbride (G74) and nearby Cambuslang, Rutherglen and Hamilton.
How much does external wall insulation cost in East Kilbride?
Our guide is £105–£170 per m² depending on the system, plus scaffolding — roughly £10,200–£17,700 for a typical three-bed semi with EPS and silicone render. Installing insulation in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, so that's the total. A free survey fixes the price.
Do I need planning permission in East Kilbride?
For East Kilbride properties, flats and tenements need planning permission for external insulation, and a noticeable change of finish on a house often does too under Scottish rules.
Is VAT charged on wall insulation?
Installing wall insulation in homes is zero-rated until 31 March 2027, then 5%, so our insulation prices are totals. Render-only work and repairs carry VAT at 20%, and our prices for them include it.
