Homes and walls in Elgin
We cover Elgin and nearby Lossiemouth, Forres and Buckie.
North East Scotland has granite and stone-built homes, harled cottages and post-war estates, with exposed coastal settings along much of it.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Moray: 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 Elgin 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.
