Homes and walls in Dunoon
Surveys in Dunoon also cover the surrounding PA23 district and towns such as Greenock and Helensburgh. It's roughly 8 miles from Dunoon to Helensburgh, the largest town in Argyll and Bute. The Highlands and Islands have many exposed stone and harled homes, timber-framed houses and scattered rural properties.
Parts of Argyll and Bute 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.
We bring brick slip samples to Dunoon surveys so you can compare them with neighbouring houses.

Planning and building control in Scotland
For Dunoon 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.
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.
Are brick slips real brick?
They can be — cut or manufactured clay slips — or concrete and flexible polymer slips designed to look like brick. Clay slips are heavier and need systems rated for that weight.

Brick slip EWI in Dunoon: questions
Is a brick slip finish more expensive?
Yes — roughly £70–£120 per m² more than render, because of materials and slower installation.
Will brick slips match my neighbours' brick?
We source slips to get close in colour and texture and show samples beforehand, but an exact match to weathered brick isn't always possible.
Can I mix brick slips and render?
Yes. A brick plinth or ground floor with render above is a common combination.
Do you cover Dunoon?
Yes — we survey and quote brick slip finishes in Dunoon (PA23) and nearby Greenock, Helensburgh and Clydebank, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
