Homes and walls in Lerwick
Surveys in Lerwick (ZE1) are arranged around travel to the wider Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles.
The Highlands and Islands have many exposed stone and harled homes, timber-framed houses and scattered rural properties.
Parts of Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles 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
For Lerwick 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.
Where a building warrant is needed for Lerwick work, it's obtained before installation starts, and the quote says who arranges it.
