Homes and walls in Stranraer
We cover Stranraer and the wider Dumfries and Galloway; island and remote addresses are surveyed by arrangement. 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 Stranraer surveys so you can compare them with neighbouring houses.

Permissions in Scotland
In Scotland, permitted development for external wall changes is narrower, so in Stranraer 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 Stranraer 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 Stranraer: questions
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.
Do brick slips fall off?
Not when installed to the system manufacturer's specification, with the right adhesive, fixings and pointing.
Can I mix brick slips and render?
Yes. A brick plinth or ground floor with render above is a common combination.
Do you cover Stranraer?
Yes — we survey and quote brick slip finishes in Stranraer (DG9); island and remote addresses are surveyed by arrangement, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
