The Scottish Borders have stone-built towns and villages, rural cottages and some post-war estates.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Scottish Borders: 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 Galashiels 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 Galashiels work, it's obtained before installation starts, and the quote says who arranges it.

Galashiels: questions
Do you cover Galashiels?
Yes — we survey and quote in Galashiels (TD1) and nearby Hawick, Kelso and Peebles.
How much does external wall insulation cost in Galashiels?
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 Galashiels?
Scottish householder rules mean many Galashiels jobs that change the outside of a house need a planning application; we confirm the position before quoting.
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.
