What we look for in Annan
Surveys in Annan also cover the surrounding DG12 district and towns such as Dumfries and Hawick. Annan sits around 15 miles from Dumfries. South West Scotland has stone and harled houses, coastal towns and post-war council housing.
Parts of Dumfries and Galloway 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 Annan surveys so you can compare them with neighbouring houses.

Approvals in Scotland
For Annan 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.
Scotland's building standards cover changes to external wall construction; we check whether your job in Annan 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.
