What we look for in Oban
Surveys in Oban (PA34) are arranged around travel to the wider 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.
On brick terraces in Oban, slips can insulate the wall while keeping the street's look.

Approvals in Scotland
In Scotland, permitted development for external wall changes is narrower, so in Oban we check with the council's planning team where the appearance changes, and always for flats, tenements and conservation areas.
Scotland's building standards cover changes to external wall construction; we check whether your job in Oban needs a warrant.
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 Oban: questions
Can I mix brick slips and render?
Yes. A brick plinth or ground floor with render above is a common combination.
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.
Is a brick slip finish more expensive?
Yes — roughly £70–£120 per m² more than render, because of materials and slower installation.
Do you cover Oban?
Yes — we survey and quote brick slip finishes in Oban (PA34); island and remote addresses are surveyed by arrangement, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
